Was highly skeptical of trying a cheap Texas wine, but was pleasantly surprised. Albariño is one of my favorite white grape varietals, and after learning that Spanish and Portuguese grapes do particularly well in the Texas climate thought I’d give it a shot. Crisp, very refreshing, Happy 4th! — 7 years ago

Decanted and waited 2 hours for this tightly wound up boy to turn into a gracious gentleman. A lot of blueberries and hickory smoke — 10 years ago
Good Tempranillo with Repsol. — 10 years ago
Fabulous summer wine. Had in Ibiza, Spain. — 11 years ago
Nice golden yellow hue. On the nose light toastiness conplemented by fresh fruit, some minerality and very slight earthy element. Bit coarse mousse. Tangy acidity frames yellow toned fruit. Palate is focused rather than broad. Medium- on length and refreshing. This is good quality NV but lacks a bit thrill to be excellent — 6 years ago
Juicy, succulent with layers of texture. Black cherry and licorice with smoke, vanillin, and red rose petal. Really unique palate.. smooth and almost airy but with a beautiful cherry fruit texture. Blind, I would have guessed this to be the spring mountain, honestly. 100% single block Oakville vineyard. Nothing like regular oakville and I love it for that. — 8 years ago

A: Dark red with cherry reflections. Clean and nice. 4/5
S: Equilibrated smell, some sourness and sweetness, although it follows the sourness a bit more. A bit of alcohol and cherry. 3.75/5
T: The taste is pleasant. It has a nice equilibrium between sweetness and sourness, although I believe its closer to sour wines. A little alcohol taste, and some wood (close to cork) 3.75/5
F: The feeling is nice, pleasant for an everyday wine. 3.75/5
O: Very nice, we can consider buying it again. 3.75/5 — 10 years ago
Lovely and smooth. I prefer to drink it on it's own rather than with food. — 11 years ago

Muy tasty. — 10 years ago
v2001. A bit of Brett, initially, but that dissipated about 30 min after opening, which allowed aromas of lavender, leather and black fruit to shine. Black cherry, roasted meat, and juicy acidity on the palate, and a great finish. I really can't relate to the low ratings some have given this wine. A good, moderately aged Rioja at $35? Yes, yes it is. — 10 years ago
Tuoksussa vahvaa tammea. Maku nahkainen, vahvasti tanniininen ja lämmittävä. Alkoholi ei tule selvästi läpi vaikka kyseessä 15 % pullote. — 11 years ago
