Alka Carménère

Anniversary dinner at Seven Reasons. AMAZING wine! Medium bodied. Spicy on the end. Comforting and beautiful. Paired with butternut squash cacao tart, lamp with pepita sauce, and Argentine steak — 7 years ago

Hacienda Terra d'Uro

Finca La Rana Toro Tempranillo

Deep and dark ruby garnet. Abundant nose of black cherry and pipe tobacco. Echoed on the palate with a stony mid-palate and a cigar box finish. Velvety tannins coat the mouth from entry to the medium long finish. Toro is probably best known (to those who know it) through really high-end wines that cost more and are less well-known than their fellow Tempranillo-based brothers from Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Darker and fuller than either, Toro at more moderate price points (like this one) let the wineaux experience Spain (and Tempranillo) at a higher level without breaking the proverbial bank. A great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon (New or Old World) that’s ready for steaks, roasts, root vegetables, hearty casseroles, or any other “deep red” meal. Drink now through 2025. — 7 years ago

Solano County Green Valley Valdiguié 2015

Rich and interesting with a little bit of a funk, but still feels elevated. Young wines are good but it does mellow nicely with some aging in bottle. — 7 years ago

Hacienda Monasterio

Reserva Especial Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 2016

Exudes smoothness. Chocolaty red fruits with a ton of acidity. Very, very mild tannins. Really could use a bit more structure. — 4 years ago

Hacienda La Lomita

Pagano San Antonio de las Minas Grenache 2016

This is weird, but if you read NK Jemisen’s Broken Earth series, and you think about the all-powerful onyx obelisk—that’s what it feels like I’m drinking. Overwhelming in every way—Big, bold, ripe, boozy. But balanced and smooth and soft like velvet glove. I just fall deep into the glass and wanna stay there. The dark, juicy fruit — a blackberry/blueberry cobbler comes to mind—lingers forever. — 5 years ago
