Roganto "Piccolo" Valle de Guadalupe Red Blend 2016

Vin Chicago: 91 Points

(9/2026) Wow, this mature red pops and pours beautifully. Orange inflections in its color, it delivers warm origin characteristics. Chocolate-dipped black cherry, spicy, balsamic, lavish new oak has resolved, with sous bois and umami tones that didn't overwhelm the wine for three days open. Aspirational, high-quality, old school red here.

Wine & Spirits : 90 Points

(8/2019) This is a youthful blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and tempranillo from three valleys north and south of Ensenada. It feels airy and juicy, with savory notes of sage and soy sauce. Pour this with a charcuterie board of cured meats and hard, herbed cheeses.
