This blend is named in honor of the butcher shop that David’s father started in San Francisco. His butcher shop(s) launched them into a 1956 Pritchard Hill land spending spree with the thought of starting a cattle ranch. When they were done buying parcels, they had amassed 984 acres in Pritchard Hill. The third most expensive fruit today at $28,000 a ton. If you sold all of that land today, it would be worth over a billion dollars. I bet they didn’t pay anything close to that in 1956.

This was opened the day before we’d had it. While I enjoyed it, it had leaned out a bit more than I would want it. It was round with softer tannins but may have given a false sense of its ability to cellar.

The fruits are nice, ripe, lush & juicy; blackberries, raspberries, dark cherries, black plum, mid baking spices-nutmeg, cinnamon, light clove, vanillin, light spice, barrel shavings, crushed rocks, savory, grilled meats, dark, red, & purple florals with very nice acidity and a wire to wire finish that was leaner but, clean. The finish was well balanced, elegant, on the leaner side, nicely polished and persisted minutes. — 5 years ago

Winery: Luna Beberide
Wine: Fina Luna Beberide
Vintage: 2017
Denomination of Origin: Bierzo
Grape: 100% Mencia

This wine has changed names with the 2017 vintage. Former called Finca la Cuesta, this is sourced from the same, estate vineyards on clay and broken slate. The winery has reduced the amount of new oak and time in wood with this vintage lending a fresher fruit character. Good thing as 2017 crop was drastically reduced by frost.
Medium opaque purple. Nose of plums, graphite, a hint of gamy/butcher block. On the palate this is fleshier than previous vintages, with a silky, Merlot-like character. Persistent and concentrated while maintaining a sense of levity. — 5 years ago

If you got it now is the time. Right at peek. Still great fruit, asid, & stones but full of mushroom, sweatty leather, butcher shop floor, & dirt. The tanmins are soft and pushed back behind everything else but still there. To me this is what I want when I lay wine down. — 8 years ago

Made my wife's favorite dinner for our anniversary and opened up this treasure to accompany. Beginning to mature and drinking great currently. Nose is impeccably balanced with dark berry fruit and earthy tones. The palate opens up to blackberry, cherry, spice and a touch of smoke. Fine tannins lead the lingering finish that sticks around forever. Dinner was homemade fettuccini with fresh tomato sauce with garlic, capers and white wine along side grilled Italian sausage from our local butcher. — 8 years ago
