Novelty Hill borrows from the ancient Latin phrase In Novale Novello, “in virgin ground I plant young vines,” for its name. I didn’t realize that there aren’t vines on the actual Novelty Hill in Washington (located about 5 miles east of Redmond). Oh well, so much for my Hill vs Hill face-off with Pritchard Hill’s Bryant Family. This 2014 Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon talks some serious smack, and even brings a serious punch, but that would have been Go-Karts vs Formula One. That said, this is one hell of a Go-Kart. In the low $20s, my first comparison is to Charles Smith’s Substance Cs, and this blows the doors off that wine, and more than justifies its slightly higher price-point. Jumps out of the glass with black cherry, cassis, mocha, licorice, and a heavily spiced cranberry potpourri, while still managing to weave in a savory undertone that emphasizes the noticeable balance. Washington offers extraordinary value across the board, but this is a value even by Washington standards. 92+ — 8 years ago

Really solid wine. Bold, berry fruity and some hints of spice. I enjoyed it with my Costa Rican/Latin American dinner; it went really well with the spicy red chile sauces and tomatillo-based sauces. — 10 years ago

Tannat - possibly the only palindrome grape variety - here in all it's unctuous, aubergine glory. Dark, stormy and passionate like a textbook Latin lover, it will mark you (and your couch if you're not careful). — 11 years ago

12 months in barique, 6 bottles in case, sales for $41.00 about. Pungeant nose, very earthy, wet wool, red fruit, Akilia comes from the word Aguila in Latin. Lots of strawberries and red fruits, very well balanced. 8/10 a bit expensive — 13 years ago

9.1

Winery is family-run & has links with the wine world going back 3 generations. Founded by Emilio Moro who was born in Pesquera de Duero, a prominent Spanish wine area. Made from grapes of old vineyards, between 25 and 75 years old, from the Camino Viejo estate. Malleolus is a Latin word meaning “small hammer or mallet” used in planting, and “majuelo” Spanish for “young vine” a traditional way of referring to a vineyard in Pesquera del Duero. Deep red subtle fruit aromas with espresso and smoky notes. Blackberry & cherry with vanilla spice on full lush tannins needing more time. Well balanced, complex, lingering with earthy finish. — 8 years ago

Citron, kalksten, nyklippt gräs. Antydan till äppelcidervinäger och en liten spruttighet vid öppnandet som inte känns helt hundra. Men gott iallafall. Slankt men smakrikt med bra längd. — 9 years ago

Liknar inte vin vid öppning. En vända i kanna. Det spritsiga och stickiga bortvädrat, mest utmärkande är aprikosgodis, men smaken är snustorr. Solsken på flaska. — 9 years ago

Spicy like a Latin in-law, complex like a privileged Caucasian, fruit-forward like an overzealous roadside farmer, silky smooth like South African milk chocolate, and the color of deep, oxygen rich blood. Enjoy. Pull out your card, swipe, and make sure your corkscrew is handy. Ride this wine like your Snoop and Dr. Dre. — 10 years ago

From the Latin, Healthy is the name of these wine, made with native grapes Grillo that are in West Sicily because their habitat acclimated for thousands of years. In order to respect the terroir the De Bartoli family have limited human intervention avoinding any chemical treatment, physical, chemical, mechanical, nor any kind of forcing conventional.
Integer wines do not belong to any category, organic, biodynamic, archaic, or movement of wines real or natural. Bottled non-refrigerated, non-clarified, unfiltered. A wine that pulls in front lively freshness and purity with oxydative notes. 😋👍 — 13 years ago
