While sharing chateaubriand with Mrs A at the Post Hotel in Lake Louise AB we asked the hotel owner to pick the pairing wine. He selected a 2014 Aalto Ribera del Tempranillo to our pleasant surprise. The following are my tasting and consuming notes. The intoxicating rainbow aromas of licorice, black fruits, coffee and leather reflect the alternating layers of lime stone, marl, chalk under the silt and clay topsoil of this stellar appellation. The weather extremes of hot days, cool nights only adds to its exceptional phenolic presentation. Aged for 18 months in oak it displays bright acidity, fine grained tannins finishing with an integration of spices, herbs, woody tones and traces of vanilla. Medium-bodied, balanced, complex layering and long legs this wine proved to be the perfect pairing. Kudos to George Schwarz for this selection. Cheers 🍷 — 8 years ago


Lovely and unique sake! — 9 years ago
short breaths will engulf you in all things lime: juice, zest, aid, ice ~ but then deeper breaths allow a spectrum including Granny Smith and Golden Delicious, tonic, minerals, blossoms, rainbow sherbet and orange marmalade resting atop shortbread
it’s like a mix of citrus juices with peach and mango nectar ~ simultaneously sharp acidity and minerality with a nearly creamy sensation ~ perplexing yet ultimately enjoyable — 5 years ago
Very unique and exciting wine to drink, clearly distinguishable from other Txakolis. Pale lemon color with aromas of white flesh fruits, citrus and floral scents. On the palate, apple, citrus and melon flavors with herb notes, floral and lively acidity. Smooth, easy drinking, went well with Rainbow Trout. Long finish ending with mineral notes. Grab this refreshing summer treat! — 6 years ago

Elvin fuckin green iridescent fractal rainbow of green florals on the nose. So youthful for its age. Tastes lean and sharp on palate, maybe too much so — 9 years ago

This is why Montalcino is where you want to go for your Sangiovese. Muscular, earthy, and masculine without skimping on fruit. Packed with dark fruit, blackberry bramble, and an absolute ton of rainbow and black peppercorns. An elegant Italian heavyweight in dark black shoes. — 9 years ago
Excellent full bodied white, stood up to the flavors of rainbow trout and horseradish cream sauce. Happy Valentine's Day! — 9 years ago

Dark and thick. Age has done wonders for this wine. Over extracted years ago and mostly mellowed now with good fruit and some earth showing over time. Nose of dry dirt, black raspberry, blackberry, red currant, cherry, rainbow peppercorn. Good acidity with mellow tannins, oily, a bit tart on the tip of the tongue. On the palate more earth, a touch of mushroom, more black raspberry, very similar to the nose with maybe a touch of dark chocolate. — 5 years ago
