Definitely interested in the intersection of Perez and godello. Pale gold, very aromatic, citrus and almond, fresh herbs, touch of brioche/vanilla and saline, extremely versatile. — 5 months ago

For a varietal that leans to higher extraction this was restrained. Vibrant. Carried on for hours. — 8 months ago

I’ve had a few wines from Raul Perez but this is the first to truly blow me away. Incredibly fresh but also quite structured to hold up all the fruit. Wonderful. — 2 years ago

Before we get into the notes on this wine, let’s get something out of the way first: the labeling on the Ultreia branded wines by Raul Pérez is downright confusing. The entry-level is designated “Saint Jacques” (which is a fabulous wine and incredible QPR)…and then comes this plain label “Ultreia” before you step up to the other designations of “Valtuille”, “La Claudina”, etc which are higher-end??. It’s really tough to understand the hierarchy. The good news? It really doesn’t matter when all the wines are really quite stunning. And this bottle is absolutely representative of Señior Pérez's impeccable style.

Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Best on Day 2. On the nose, blue berries, dark cherries, brambles, exotic spices…giving way to spiced lamb after a lot of air, roses, incense, and underbrush. On the palate, red fruit which transitions to more of a darker fruit profile after Day 2, with some mushrooms, deli meat and minerals. Really sound structure. Medium-plus acid, medium plus tannin. The finish is long and satisfying; tongue smacking. Even at $35, this is a killer deal. What a wine. — 3 years ago

Quite enjoyable. My wine store does free tastings and I didn't really like it. It got included anyway, so I was pleasantly surprised. — 7 months ago

The flavor profile is kind of like Cab Franc, with notes of dehydrated strawberry (like Special K red berries), mushroom, and a kiss of oak. Medium bodied. Wonderful acid, and still had some tannins. — 3 years ago

Paella night! I know we’re supposed to do Rioja, but Bierzo is on the table tonight. Cracked pepper & blackberry nose. Full bodied, more dark berries and smoky notes cross the mid palate. Structured, but very approachable and enjoyable right now. — 4 years ago

Now this is fun- an Andalucía red, all inky & jet black, rough and tense on the palate. Black fruits- blackberries & currants. A big wine at 13.5%. A lot of wine for less than 14$. Big time. — 3 years ago

Little soil- like funk in the nose. Raspberry,,good tannins and some cigar- box. I just had a nice cab franc and this reminds me of it. — 5 years ago
