Very young, energetic, not integrated at the moment. Yet brimming with promise and potential.
Classy stuff! — 4 years ago

Didn't love it at first, but oddly enough a couple days later (vacuum corked but it opened up a bit anyway) I really loved it. — 5 years ago

Vintage 2019 | Yesterday I drank Syrah/Cabernet, today Syrah/Tempranillo, which I like even more. Frivolous smell with red fruits, sultry taste. Good stuff this Spanish wine. Paired with beef finch and eggplant in tomatosauce. — 4 years ago

Esta bodega sabe hacer las cosas. Los taninos están de lujo y su sabor es especiado bien medido. Lo paladeas y te atrapa su aroma y al intentar el olfato te llega su delicia entre cereza, uva y especias. — 6 years ago

Toasted almond, cinnamon, and toffee aromas. More of the same on the palate, with saline accents, a soft texture, and a long, savory finish. Delicious, and so cool to taste a little bit of history...an Oloroso from a solera that was started in 1826. — 9 years ago

Very nice Pinot. Probably the best I have tasted from Santa Barbara. Bright and layered red fruit. Tastes like Burgundy! — 4 years ago

A few days late in posting the Wednesday Wine Committee wines. Standard format with 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All served blind.

@Delectable Wine : This is the Martin Estate Puerta Dorada Vineyard Cabernet Port. I didn’t see it in the database.

Fig, nutmeg, clove and rich mixed berry pie. Lots of similarities to port, but the finish never goes to the traditional graham cracker richness, and not as lengthy of a lingering finish. Lighter than expected, and definitely not super sweet. More similar to a heavily extracted cab with age. I guessed Napa Cab dessert wine. — 6 years ago

Dark juice yet light & fresh with a bit of barnyard on the nose. Enough tannin to pull you in with some dark fruits but the acidity makes it feel fresh~ Perfect with gochujang glazed ribs. — 6 years ago

Una equilibrada combinación de ubas con carácter. Y mucho cuerpo. En la boca un bouquet persistente y muy especial. Se recuerda. — 9 years ago
