A delightful Spanish wine made up mostly of a clone of Tempranillo called Tinto Fino or "Fine Red". This wine is also considered one of Spain's finest (see Dominio de Pingus). Pesquera is owned by Alejandro Fernandez who goal is to make "masculine" wines. This is a good description. Meaty, bold but not overpowering like a Zinfandel. I'm sure the age of this vintage - 2009 - has helped its quality. — 8 years ago

A decadent pleasurefest for sure. Already comes à la mode straight from the bottle, with a heaping scoop of vanilla that melts your face. Gushes blackberry. It certainly doesn't need complexity to accomplish its goal, but the secondary cherry tobacco, spice box, and orange peel potpourri are a bonus. — 8 years ago

Goal of the day: be a good, thoughtful, giving partner to my husband who is 45yrs young today. Lots of kid duty, lots of cooking (which I love, twist my arm) and topping the day off with steaks, potatoes and leeks au gratin (leeks, I love you so), and a gorgeous David Abreu masterpiece. Love love love it. #beanetgiver — 9 years ago

Gewurztraminer is a varietal that does particularly well in New Zealand in my tasting experience. Gorgeous nose of lychees with floral spicy notes. Voluptuous on the front and middle palates but finishes dry. The perfect wine with Asian food. In a word - delicious. Another brilliant Gewürztraminer is made at Gisborne in the North Island by Vinoptima whose goal it is to produce the worlds best Gewürztraminer to challenge the Grand Crus of Alsace. — 9 years ago

Pleasant, light, fruity sparkling wine (not sure it was made in Champagne). Refreshing on its own but cheap enough that we mixed it for mimosas. Def got a nice buzz. That was the goal of course. 😋 — 10 years ago

I made this wine with my husband Jeff Pisoni... And our goal is to make Sauvignon Blanc to age... So after two years in bottle the wine is holding his promise (citrusy, focus, great acidity and focus mineralogy all in)... Waiting to taste it in 10 years from now! — 10 years ago

Dominant Syrah with a touch of Viognier, this wine starts to get more elegant with rounder tannins, very ripe black fruits and wild berries, the oak is well integrated, a nice wine that will pair nicely with rich dishes :) Quinta do Monte d’Oiro (“Hill of Gold”) was founded by winemaker José Bento dos Santo in 1990. His goal was to develop top-quality wines in a European style while respecting his vineyard’s unique terroir — 10 years ago

Very interesting white blend from Alsace. Great story - made by a Alsatian winemaker married to a Japanese chef with the goal of pairing well with fish and umami. Extremely balanced, hint of sweetness, quite full. Nice. — 8 years ago

Gordons tasting Deiss 6/6/17. $20. No 2. Clean nose of white flowers and peach notes. Soft yet balanced palate that is silky yet with undercurrent of tension. Looking forward to the rest of lineup! Nice value. Blend of 13 varietals! Hope nose represents Alsace! Ripeness is goal. All natural. — 8 years ago

Outstanding effort. There are many reasons why this wine is spectacular, but aside from the Atlas Peak fruit, I love that they have held these back and aged them before release. The nose is powerful full of cigarbox and espresso, and baking spices. The pallet defines balance, exhibiting notes of red plum and blueberries, cinnamon, mocha, vanilla bean, and a gorgeous lingering finish. This is a goal that Napa Cabs should strive for, not too over extracted, the right tannins, and use of Oak not to hide everything else great about the
Wine.

Cheers!

I'm pretty sure Jesus took a trip to Spain sometime in his life, because this HAS to be the water he turned into wine. Ripe fruit. Analogy time: this is equivalent to a Sergio Ramos late goal... clutch. Feels like I'm in Cuba: Cigars. — 8 years ago

Semi sweet is right. I'd say the wine is a bit sweeter though. Here's to my first apt. paid by me through my first full time job. Here's to Seamus Coleman's first ever international goal today against Georgia. Here's to my first step towards complete independence. Here's to the hope that things get better, as I've said each and every time I opened a bottle of Teliani Valley. That's why I buy it, the taste is just a bonus.

Tasting notes from the Judgement of Paris anniversary event at Cadillac Wines...
This is almost as light as their zin. Very Bordeaux like (which was their goal). At 10 years old, this wine could still go another 15+ no problem. Fruits should stay strong for a while. — 9 years ago
