Starting the Wednesday night ritual (lol could be any night ritual) - ok this baby is a 100% cab - smell is full fruits and vanilla - first taste is impressive - tannins are releasing and mild - taste bursting with dark fruits - blackberries and I think cherries - taste lingers when I swallow - all smiles here - going to a great night I think — 9 years ago

Holy hey wish I’d had this when I was writing my piece on Grenache BUT consider this a late entry. The fam puts Grenache through a more intricate than usual procedure including a drying in the dark ritual for some stems. And that hand picked attention really adds some magic. This one has the ability to stand tall and solid and remain ethereal in soul. As good Grenache should be. It contains multitudes. And (their words not mine but it’s accurate) ninja tannins. They slice you in a way you aren’t even aware of. — 6 years ago

This wine is super refined and elegant. The amount of acid was noticeable at this point - and the tannins are strong even after a four plus hour decant. This is one for the long haul. It was cool to taste this side by side with the ‘12 vintage as well as next to the ‘12 regular Estate. All so different yet all so good. Such wonderful wines it’s sad they’re no longer making them. — 8 years ago

On the nose; grassy & herbal notes but lighter than the others in the area. Just a touch of cat pee, green bean, white citrus; grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple with yellow & white spring flowers.

The body is leaner & beautiful. The mouthfeel is; creamy delicate, fresh and ripe. Grassy & herbal notes but lighter than the others we’ve had in Casablanca. White citrus; grapefruit, lemon, lime, green apple, pineapple, green bean, very fine powdery, chalky minerality with yellow & white spring flowers. Very nice round acidity, and a beautiful, elegant polished finish. Really nice and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that is well priced.

Photos of; the view of the Andes Mountains out of their entrance, a very old press that decorated their entrance, the concrete eggs that are used to ferment part of this Sauvignon Blanc and the view of their Viña from the parking lot. — 7 years ago

The 2009 vintage is 100% Tempranillo and 14%ABV. From Ribera del Duero DO and vinified Crianza style with 15 months bottle aging subsequent to 1.5 years in French Oak barrels. This wine is elegant and integrated at only 7 years since fruit cultivation. This wine is rich and luscious with deep red fruit of cherry and red berry, baking spice, olive brine, and a hint of fresh cut spruce tips. This wine would be a perfect accompaniment for a Canadian Christmas tree ritual or a festive holiday evening dinner party with braised beef AAA pot roast or rack of lamb and braised root vegetables. With well balanced fruit, medium acidity and medium tannins this wine brings complex aromatics as well as refined mouthfeel of finesse to a structured backbone and elegant minerality. With persistence of briny green olives, deep ripe red berry and spice, this wine has a long finish which keeps giving back. Giving a festive Canadian twist, recommend pairing with Schwartz Montreal Smoked Meat brisket and Kosher pickles. — 9 years ago
