The 'Que Bonito Cacareaba’ by Bodega Contador is a stunning effort in this vintage. The wine is a compelling blend of 50% Garnacha Blanca, 35% Malvasía, 15% Viura all sourced from head-trained vines gown in a mix of alluvial and calcareous soil from the districts of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Briones with Rioja Alta. Showing off a golden hue, this exudes a wide range of aromatics, from unripe nectarine to lychee to tangerine zest. The texture is polished and downright unctuous, yeilding flavors of bright pear, pink grapefruit zest, starfruit and lychee that all beautifully connect. This is bright yet highly rich and satisfying. A sensational effort by Benjamin Romeo. Drink 2019-2035- 94 — 6 years ago

Back to why I fell in love with wine at first! The Ripasso method comes from the city of Verona where Romeo and Juliet's tragedy takes place. With a bright ruby color, dry and sour fruit, pomegranate and rose. Long finish and med+ body, it's got a Love story to tell you #madewithlove — 10 years ago

The is Keswick’s standard Chardonnay...and it is a GEM! Orchard acids (Sweet Pear) and gentle wood tannins are dressed in floral aromatic shawl to produce a very elegant/sophisticated winner. Versatile, it has the verve to go lighter and the strength to fight the sauces. More please! Mount Juliet sourced fruit. — 6 years ago
Lovely dark fruit notes at the forefront, with well structured but not overly dry tannin. Notes of leather underneath. — 6 years ago
A really fascinating rose blend from Mount Aetna. Has the high acidity and even some minerality that wines on those slopes yield. First thought: like a very light, unsweet version of Cran-grape juice. There’s only a whisper of fruit, maybe some light strawberry, lemon, hibiscus. High acidity and alcohol plus tartness make this a stellar, STELLAR wine. Amazed and can’t wait for more. — 7 years ago

Light body and very "Pinot Noir" like. Bright red cherry and strawberry flavors. Mild tannins and light oak. Hint of smoke. Refreshing. Chill it a bit below cellar temp. Great story about the winery. A Mt. Etna lava flow just went around them 30 years ago. — 9 years ago
