The 2014 'La Cueva del Contador' is an utterly compelling Rioja. Immediately, you are drawn to the inky color, which is followed by highly perfumed aromatics with amazing range. Nuances of black tea, Asian spices, blackberry cobbler and milk chocolate all marvelously come together in the glass. The palate is seductive and deep, offering a generous, silky mouthfeel, which is layered with lavors of wild blackberry jam, mocha, anise, orange zest and hints of dried sage that thoroughly impress. This is a complete wine made by the talented Benjamin Romeo, which looks to have an exceedingly long life ahead. Drink 2019-2040- 96 — 7 years ago

I owe this one to Brian McClintick MS and proprietor of Les Marchands in Santa Barbara. After trying our first bottle over the holidays we ordered in a case as the supply is limited. Micro bubbles in a bright, toasty sparkly that has depth, balance and a gorgeous flavor that reminds the palate of truffle pop corn, green apple and the Romeo e Julieta you smoked the day before. — 11 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

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 — 11 years ago

Drinking this Northern Italian wine, family produced at the foot of the Alps for 7-generations one can almost imagine pulling over in your Alfa Romeo to have a light lunch and taste the local wines. Smooth, rich, even elegant this full-bodied red will be the perfect accompaniment. Another under the radar find at Metrovino, Calgary. DOC, 13% alc/vol ~$21.00 CAD Cheers 🍷 — 7 years ago

Continuing to work my way through Beau Vigne’s line-up. To date, I’ve had their Cult, Romeo, and Old Rutherford.

This was poured for us when we visited a year ago, but I have no recollection...thankfully my wife does as she loves Zins. Talk about aromatics! Like a velvet glove punch to the face...wraps you with lavender, blueberries, blackberry pie, milk chocolate. The palate invokes more red fruit but also some bacon fat. The finish ends up being fairly peppercorn/spice driven, which I enjoy with Zins.

Sometimes you just crave bold, unabashed zin and this fits the bill. Haven’t had many Carlisle, Bedrock, Ridge or Turley, but this and Jessup’s zin are delicious. — 8 years ago

Subtle and pleasant. Not so much true to the Romeo and Juliet name but still a nice bubbly. Dry with a hint of sweetness that isn't overwhelming. — 8 years ago

@Martin G Rivard !!!!! Thank you for the VIP tasting hook-up! What gorgeous wines. We lucked out that they are across the street from where we are staying in Yountville. The Romeo and Cult were unreal. My wife is a zin lover and told me their zin was one of her favorites...after I tried it, I agreed! But the Cult...😍. Goodness, talk about beautiful. All the big and dark fruits on the nose and you expect it to punish the tongue with tannins, but it's super soft! What a surprise. Thank you Martin for this introduction! We will definitely be buying more! — 9 years ago
