Whole cluster Burgundy or California!? 😅😁 — 4 years ago

Well well well, isn’t that something! Envinate Lousas Vinos de Aldea. Give it some time in the glass to unwind and expose its inner complexity, a vibrant red fruit profile, lavender and capsicum is accompanied by a pronounced savoriness with crushed rocks, soil and white pepper. A fresh spine runs through the palate with solid but fine grained grip from the tannins. Ribeira Sacra. Mostly Mencia with some other stuff thrown in (field blend), whole cluster ferment in cement tank followed by elevage in neutral barrel. A privilege to have these unicorn wines available! — 6 years ago

Great stuff. 2012 vintage. Violets, lilacs, some savory notes of grilled meat. Really good acidity keeps this bright and balances the weight of the dark fruit. Tannins give it good finish — 7 years ago

Slight hint of reduction that faded with 30 mins. Darker fruit profile than expected, considering the light color and low alcohol. 12.5%. well crafted, well balanced. Great value — 8 years ago

Fantastic! Cloudy rich golden hue, mildly sweet but the main palette presence is honeysuckle and lime. — 6 years ago

Impromptu meet up at Classic!

Know nothing of this producer. Whoa...whole cluster here? Spicy, crunchy and bramble driven. Very Sta Rita Hills. Rhubarb and cedar smoked nose. The palate is less complex than I expected based on the nose, but it’s still floral with an added cranberry sauce finish. — 7 years ago

Day one: Shy on the nose, with some floral elements (roses and violets). Day two: Bright, ripping whole-cluster aromatics! Laser beams of cranberry and herbs on the mid palate, beautiful finish without so much as a shadow of oak. This is pure, no-frills Burgundy fruit without compromise at the humble Bourgogne level. $27 Bottle Barn price- incredible value. Will drink well for easily another 5-7 years. Great play for your $- a modest price of admission for a relatively serious wine. — 8 years ago

Complex. sweet ripen black fruits (overripen?) and greenish aroma from whole cluster fermentation create seductive aroma. dry, mid acidity, silky texture. powerful beauty. Distinctive style from acidity driven cool climate PN.ABV13.6% — 8 years ago
