Artesa (ahr TESS uh) means "craftsman" and connotes "handcrafted" in Catalan, language of Barcelona and their owner, Codorníu, one of the world's largest and oldest wineries. Ruby with sweet berry fruit aromas and floral notes. On the palate cranberry and cherry flavors with spice. Fine savory tannins medium finish ending with mineral notes, nice value. — 8 years ago

Fresh and crisp on the intake, round as it hits the back of the throat and a long graceful finish. One of our favorite ethical wineries, Solms Delta, this earthy wine is bright cherry rose. — 12 years ago

(16.5/20) Зрелый аромат вишнёвого и клубничного варений, молочного шоколада, кардамона, кожи и подлеска. Умеренная тельность и интенсивные, но гладкие по текстуре танины. Вкус уступает аромату, поначалу вино даже кажется водянистым. Аэрациях помогает раскрыться вкусу, но одновременно делает грубее танины. В целом, отличное вино за свои деньги. — 8 years ago

Quintessential Greek White blend. Crisp with honey, green apple and cardamom. Perfect with the grilled octopus, but enough weight to hold up to creamier dishes. I love Greek wines. — 8 years ago

Has gotten more complex since last tasting. Pear and grapefruit initially hit the palate followed by a lime and gravelly finish. Fuller-bodied, yet deftly maintains a crisp character. Has both depth and finesse. One of my favorite wineries. — 10 years ago

One of the only wineries in Napa that bottle ages in the cave walls. Old-world technique for an awesome old-world styled wine. Bottles may have come down, but spirits still high and lucky stars counted. — 11 years ago

Super Tuscan blend. It's a blend of 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet and 10% Merlot. Nose of sweet & sour dark cherries. Baking spices, light spices, caramel, black licorice & fragrant dark, fresh, florals. It's not your traditional super Tuscan but it's a close relative. The mouthfeel is beautifully round, gorgeous, lush and sexy. Spice, baking spice, moist dark soil, dry powdery top soils, ruby, ripe, rich, lush, blackberries, dark cherries, spiced plum, cherries, strawberries, black licorice/cola with round. mouthwatering acidity. The structure, length, tension and balance are amazing as is the beautifully, lush finish. Photos of, their Walla Walla winery, wall artwork at their winery and hand blown stand up lamps. — 8 years ago

I loved the 2011 so I picked up the 2005. It has xinomavro whereas the 11 doesn't, making it tighter. I loved that wine. I really like this one and will love it in 2-4 more years. — 10 years ago
