Reserva Culmen Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005

This is my first experience with this wine. The ruby rim and long legs announce a great wine. And the promise is delivered. I’m greeted with a beautiful bouquet and as soon as I taste it, I decide I have a new favorite wine. Red fruit, sandalwood and a dash of peppermint just to remind you that it can be spring all year. — 7 years ago

Goodness I love LRA wines. The nose on these are intoxicating. American oak has calmed down but still full of coconut and dill. Could smell it all day. Incredibly pure on the palate. Blackberries, Mexican vanilla, green pepper. No tannic bite. — 8 years ago

@TheSkip @Weijie Shi : I can’t get enough of these wines. At 16-17yrs old, this could not be tasting any more incredible.

@Bill Bender : Ha! If this is the Shay way, I must be living right! Very fortunate and grateful to enjoy wines from others and share wines with others. Including you in 2018! ✊🏼

Terroir Selection Mendoza Malbec 2011

Strong alcohol on the nose also currants. Cherries and blackberries, a bit of pepper and spice. Lighter and fruitier. — 11 years ago

Tapiz

Alta Collection Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Very nice and complete Cabernet from Argentina. I feel it rates 91+ for the color and deep red fruit flavors and long finish . Not California Cabernet with lower ABV but European style with complexity and soft tannins. Super deal at $15!!!! Drink in the near term for best enjoyment. — 8 years ago

Forlorn Hope

Suspiro Del Moro Silvaspoons Vineyard Alvarelhão 2007

This wine is excellente! Deep silky dark fruit. This is a great sipping wine, yet it will sing with a thick steak or juicy grilled pork chop. This is a 2007, so good luck finding one. — 10 years ago
