Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Sere from Vendrell Rived is a lovely red comprised of a blend of eighty percent Garnacha and twenty percent Samso (Carignan), with the vast majority of the vines forty years of age. The winery and vineyards fall in the southern end of Montsant, very close to the Priorat border. The 2010..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Elegant and focused, with creamy vanilla and apple aromas and rich yet crisp flavors of baked pear and cinnamon bread."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Delicious, smoky style, with a good balance to the off-dry caramel and buttercream flavors and the ripe melon, apricot and tropical fruit elements. Decadent, mesquite smoke finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2011 Dehesa Gago eschews oak - the wine is just put in the tank and then racked. It has a straightforward bouquet of blueberry, red cherries and a touch of balsamic that is well-defined and 'pert.'

Lovely aromas of black cherry, spice box, tobacco, lavender, and earthy minerals inform the nose of a ripe, succulent, intensely flavored wine that offers outstanding value and is meant for drinking..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Perhaps the finest Vacqueyras I have ever tasted from Chateau des Roques, the 2009 reveals copious black currant and sweet cherry notes intermixed with notions of smoked herbs and earth. Composed of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre aged in foudre and tank, ... creamy texture and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"...this bargain basement Tokaji is pretty unbelievable. Abundantly floral and honeyed on the nose, it’s deeply concentrated on the palate, with layers of luscious figs and peaches, accented by lanolin and beeswax. Creamy and unctuous on the tongue, yet clean and fresh on the finish, with..
