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

Bold and taunt. Big rips of acidity that gets meaty and olive in finish. Good balance and length. — 4 years ago

Really interesting mencía. First impression was of aged Rioja, leathery goodness, light to medium bodied. Evolved and opened up to more red cherry fruit with hint of smoke. So delicious and fun to drink. — 5 years ago

Mmmmm this is a porch pounder! Light lemon/lime with nice mineral and salt. I would call it “round” not crisp. Delish.

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

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

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

Liquid rock in white. Taut and extreme. Not lovely yet, but could get there. Bottles not vintage dated. A great wine but didn’t show its full potential. — 6 years ago

Fruity, spicy, coats the tongue nicely. A beauty to pair with roasted meats and charcuterie. A definite repurchase from color de vino. — 8 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
