Il Falcone Riserva Red Blend 2009

Varietales Albariño 2015

The wine offers a light, golden hue and the aromas we want with the Albarino grape. The honeysuckle is right up front, followed closely by pineapple and tangerine. An earthy note shows on the palate, a minerality that goes far beyond citrus zest. There’s a bright acidity that will support a Cobb salad or chicken breast just as well as it does a handful of walnuts. — 9 years ago

Bodegas Carrau

Bodegas Carrau Tannat de Reserva 2013

A bit tough to get the aromas with all the bbq smoke in the air, but dark fruit and plummy. Richness on the pallet and tannins dance with spice. Smooth body and leaves pallet chalky like a cab. Nice Uruguayan wine! — 9 years ago

Bodega Bouza

Monte Vide Eu Tannat Blend 2012

Wonderful balance. Merlot and Tempranillo counterweight the heavy Tanat. Still, a meaty wine for read meats. Velvety and round tho. Some blackberries and forest fruits - little tanine. — 10 years ago

Rivera

Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 10 years ago

2012 Uruguay Marichal Chard/Pinot Noir. Salmon skin color w glints of copper & gold--sexy. Nose is plump full of fresh cut apricot, basil-y strwbry & husked almond skin. Fresh cherry, bits of vanilla & tangerine skin lift the palate delightfully, yum! — 11 years ago
