Monthly WTF wine group meet up. No true theme this month. Some wines tasted blind.

Tasted blind. Pretty bouquet of potpourri, black cherry, herbs, sweet tar, and ripe fresh squeezed blackberries. Very soft and plush on the palate...sweet red and black fruit to the core with violet and dark chocolate. Excellent! I called this merlot. My WOTN. — 7 years ago

Lousas from Envinate, vinas de aldea CV (Cuvée Viticole). Color: Dark ruby to pale garnet around the rim. Nose: red fruit and pepper, blackberry fruit, hot spices (cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper). Kind of a hearty nose, like the smell of spices from a hearty chili.

I have not had many mencia before, so can’t really present a fair comparison. This is how I compartmentalize this wine: It has the structure of a well-made Burgundy minus the telltale leather flavors of a pinot noir. Other than that, the earthiness and the tannins and the length are simply majestic like the best of burgundy... but which Burgundy? I can’t tell, @brianmcclinticms, any thoughts?

@viticolewine great collaboration with Envinate, keep ‘em coming. Migan (La Habanera) was out of this world, and this one keeps growing on me! — 7 years ago

Winery is owned in collaboration with Chris Ringland, Jorge Ordonez, Miguel Gil and others and located in the Valley of La Aragona inside the Murcia district of Jumilla. Very dark almost purple with floral fruit aromas & gentle spice. On the palate blueberry & sweet black cherry flavors, savory with great velvet mouthfeel. 24 months aging on French & American oak, the 70% Monastrell and 30% Cab Sauvignon has fine tannins with earthy mineral tones on a lingering finish. A Fav! The ‘15 is drinking great now! — 7 years ago

More air would have done this wine justice. Regardless, started funky, closed down, then began to open with peppery blue fruits and a nice mouth feel, very good wine would like to see what more decant time would do — 9 years ago

Complex , dark fruit. Chewy well balanced. Just plane yummy. This wine is the more rustic style which I like. It is not silky smooth style like hillside select. Both are branches of same tree imho. — 7 years ago

Owned in collaboration with Chris Ringland, Jorge Ordonez, Miguel Gil and others, located in the Valley of La Aragona inside the Murcia district of Jumilla. Dark Ruby, purple edges, with aromas of black/blue fruits and spice. Cabernet/Monastrell blends shows blackberry and blueberry flavors, complex spice, tobacco and cacao with an earthy feel. The finish shows some leather notes, well structured, smooth tannins and should improve over next few years, too young to fully enjoy now. — 8 years ago

A beautiful, Chablis-style Chardonnay from a collaboration that includes the world renowned DRC house located off the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley. The interesting component of their process with this Chard is that they move the wine back into stainless steel after aging it in new and neutral French Oak. — 9 years ago
