Martín Códax

Rías Baixas Albariño 2013

The Martín Códax Winery was founded in 1986 by a group of winegrowers in Cambados, the capital of the Salnés Valle. All grapes are sourced from their own vineyards. Nice light straw yellow color with aromas of white flesh fruit and floral scents. On the palate apple, peach, pear and lemon zest, some light spice with vivid acidity. The finish displays the minerality on a lingering ending. Crisp and fresh. Very nice! Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Buntsandstein Pinot Noir 2013

Very consistent E&M style and unbeleavable under prized and ultra rare 1-3 barrels a year a Grand Cru.
I hope you are one day one of the lucky few who will taste this.! A ridicules wine needs more time. Less debts and complexity than the 2010 which was one of the best wines I had in years. These wines look light in color but that is deceiving!!!😇. They are in their own league. Less herbaceous than the 2010 less tyme and in this case cranberry notes. 0n the nose rose pedals. This needs age!

Great value! You will be hard pressed to find a better wine under $10. Great with pork or red sauce and will stand on its own. Spicy cherry, not too heavy on the tannins. — 10 years ago

I really enjoy this smooth, dry red wine. It has a beautiful fruity smell with smooth tannins when drinking, with strong cherry notes. I have enjoyed this wine on its own or paired with a variety of appetizers or meals, so its versatility is also a plus. — 9 years ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2015

First time trying the '15s and it's as great as always. This is definitely a decent amount more brawny and ripe than the '14s but still identifiable as a Lapierre wine. That said, I'm still not the biggest fan of most of these '15's so far, they are too hot and ripe and don't really fit the profile of what I want from most Beaujolais. This is still pretty good on its own merits though. Day 1 it was closed and not giving up very much but on this morning, Day 2, it's come around and opened up quite a bit. Ripe, juicy strawberry and raspberry red fruit, tart rhubarb, wild violet, smoky gravel minerality, with a nice briny, almost gamey salinity underscoring things a bit. Nice medium (+) acid, medium (-) body with a great, soft texture. Just a touch of fine, supple tannic grip. There a bit of brett and VA but they're in balance rather than being a faulty distraction; the VA helps give a little extra lift, if anything. Will try another bottle after some more time has passed because even though it's good now it honestly still needs to come together a bit more; it seemed almost still slightly bottle shocked when I first opened it yesterday. If you're opening one soon I'd recommend giving it a little air to let it unfurl. — 8 years ago

Had this wine at a friends house. Tastes great on its own and paired nicely with the grilled beef filets we had. Tons of fruit and structure. Blackberry, plum, vanilla, and spice. At this price point it will be another one of our go to weeknight gems. — 9 years ago
