Rio Madre Rioja Graciano 2017
This single-varietal Rioja (100% Graciano) Rioja shows a tremendous amount of "oomph" for the price. Not traditional Rioja, but so what! Lots of fun here.

(7/26/2019) "The vanilla and walnut character is strong here with dark-berry and chocolate undertones. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish. A little tannic, but solid. Drink now."

Silk & Spice Portugal Red Blend 2018

Wine Enthusiast
88
Our Score
88/100 - Our Score (4/2020) This is a magnificent application of yummy, crowd-pleasing, new world winemaking techniques applied to famously affordable Portuguese grapes. A blend of Touriga Nacional, Baga, Alicante Bouschet and Syrah, the 2018 Silk & Spice is soft, approachable and dripping with dark fruit. Juicy black raspberry and ripe boysenberry overtones are heavily marked by vanilla and milk chocolate. The modern jammy fruit profile is reminiscent of wines made by the Wagner family, Austin Hope or even Dave Phinney.

(10/31/2019) "I was also very impressed by the 2018 Crios Cabernet Sauvignon, which was also very expressive and with tons of peppery spices, perfumed and with a floral touch. It has classical Cabernet tannins, a velvety mouthfeel and is precise, pure and long. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2019. Drink Date: 2019 - 2021."

(2019) "A lithe, light-bodied white, framed by bright, lemony acidity and a subtle, minerally underpinning, this shows well-knit flavors of Jonagold apple, peach skin, ground ginger and Thai basil. Drink now through 2022. 1,600 cases made, 200 cases imported."

Vinessens El Vivero de Usaldon Garnacha 2018

Wine Advocate
(4/30/2019) "The new 2018 Coleccion Origen El Vivero de Usaldon is an homage to the old Usaldon vineyard that Bernabe used to work that was ripped out and replaced by almonds. It contained Rojal, Garnacha Peluda and Forcalla del Arco that were used to plant one hectare of mixed varieties, which were used for this wine. It's a five-year-old vineyard in Finca Casa Balaguer, and they used 30% full clusters and the rest uncrushed grapes to ferment in tinajas with natural yeasts, pressed after it finished fermenting and put back in the tinajas for four months. It's clean, precise and quite fruit driven but not banal, with an earthy touch. The palate is medium-bodied and revealed fine tannins and good freshness. It's 13% alcohol and feels just perfect and very balanced. The price for these new wines has not yet been set."

Xavier Vignon Lirac 2016
A compex, beautifully textured Southern Rhone red from the talented Xavier Vignon!
92
Wine Advocate
(10/31/2017) "One of Vignon's better efforts, the 2016 Lirac showcases ripe fruit, ranging from raspberries and cherries to hints of stone fruit. Yet, it's not over the top or simply fruity. This full-bodied wine adds hints of leather, garrigue and licorice along the way, evolving from creamy to velvety on the palate and through the lasting finish. Drink 2017 - 2025."
