La Storia Alexander Valley Merlot 2011

This merlot is amazing, does kinda drink like a Cab...but holy smokes is it smooth! Could also be the time laid down on this one. Beautiful big red fruit on the nose, even nice earthy notes on the nose. That pucker on the finish to remind you it's a merlot, but dang its delicious! — 6 years ago

Viña Alberdi Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2010

---
9.0

Medium ruby just starting to show a very pale tawny rim. So fragrant. Succulent, savory mouth feel. Nicely balanced. Medium body. Soft finish. 100% Tempranillo from the outstanding 2010 vintage. 13.5% alcohol. From the highly respected Spanish winery La Rioja Alta, S.A. I enjoyed it with aged Manchego cheese, membrillo casero (quince paste), and Marcona almonds. Wonderful wine. $20.00 — 9 years ago

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2010

100% Tempranillo, aged for 24 months in French & American oak. Deep garnet with aromas of black fruits, smoke and sweet spices. On the palate tart berry fruit with vanilla and nutmeg layering on tobacco, smoke and dried tobacco leaves. Generous acidity on fine soft tannins, long finish ending with an earthy flair and a bit of oxidation. Nice value! Good to drink now should improve nicely over next few years. Tasting Sample. — 7 years ago

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2005

Had this at a Tapas Bar! The pillars on which the 5 founding families erected a winery in 1890 built a way of living, feeling and producing wines of the highest quality that continue to evolve. Not released until 2015, bright Ruby, complex aromas of fruit, spice and oak. 90% Tempranillo from 3 villages & 10% Graciano from 2 villages. Cherry & blackberry flavors, with a feel of currants around the core, espresso & spicy notes on mouthwatering tannins. Wow! Lingering finish. Will get better over next 15 years — 9 years ago
