Wine Advocate
(9/10/2020) "The 2019 breakdown is 30% Pedro Ximenez, 30% Macabeo, 10% Malvasia, 10% Tortosina, 10% Verdil, 5% Merseguera and 5% Chardonnay, and the wine is 12.5% alcohol and has good freshness. It started fermenting in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and finished in tinaja, where it matured for six months. This has come a long way since the initial, almost accidental vintage in 2009. It's now serious and harmonious, subtle and elegant, with finesse and balance. They added Macabeo and Merseguera grapes from a couple of new vineyards, and there's also more Pedro Ximenez, all austere and not very aromatic grapes, with just a hint of fennel and aniseed but more austere than anything. It's juicy and fresh and makes you salivate. This shows that you don't need oak to achieve a complex white. Drink Date: 2020 - 2024."

Mateus Nicolau de Almeida "O Clarete: O Tinto Perfeito" Douro Red 2019
90+
Our Score
(6/2021) "O Clarete: O Tinto Perfeito" is an homage to the historic Claret style of Bordeaux, where big, thunderous grape varieties are treated gently to make a lighter, fresher iteration of red wine. Looking to make a delicious gastronomic wine that you can bring to just about any dinner table to pair with just about anything, Mateus Nicolau de Almeida has delivered in a big way. Utilizing traditional Portuguese varieties from the Douro Valley, including 15% white grapes, he has crafted a wine with bracing notes of blackberry, plum, dark cherry, fennel and a hint of mint. The energetic palate is highlighted by juicy acidity that allows for perfect pairing with a bevy of meats and vegetables. This is a great interpretation of the Douro Valley through an exciting new lens.

(12/31/2019) "One of the best Lambruscos out there, this delicious, vibrant wine opens with enticing scents of wild red berry, yellow stone fruit, citrus blossom and a yeasty, comforting whiff of pastry dough. Made by carrying out the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the dry, delicious palate delivers pink grapefruit, crushed strawberry and tangerine alongside crisp acidity and a saline note."

Domaine Filliatreau "Chateau Fouquet" Saumur Rouge 2018

Our Score
(5/2021) From a 6.5 hectare vineyard in Breze, a football field's length from Saumur-Champigny, the now fourth-generation Filliatreau family replanted their vines with massale cuttings from one of the most revered vineyards in the Loire. They've now successfully transitioned to certified biodynamic viticulture and all plough work in the field is performed by horse. This is a very generous, dark Loire Valley Cabernet Franc. Ripe, rich aromatics of plum and black cherry includes some dried fruit, given further complexity by purple florals and dried oregano. It is a wild, intense and plump profile spread across a plus-size frame that yields 14% abv and is currently imbued with some grainy tannin. This chunky monkey offers a clean, fun, "big taste" profile that is rare for the region and should only pair with the biggest of "bistro" fare - bring out the steak frites and decanter!

Vina Echeverria "No es Pituko!" Natural Curico Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
89
Our Score
(1/2021) As you might expect from a 2020 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon, the "No es Pituko" is QUITE fresh! This natural wine is farmed organically, raised in stainless steel - without any embellishment from oak - then bottled unfined and unfiltered with no added sulfites. Without a doubt, the style here is a good bit different from the Cabernet you are familiar with! There is an intense mouthfeel, an ample 14% ABV and classic dark fruit flavors of black currant. black cherry and plum to go with the dark minerality, loam and bittersweet chocolate notes. This lively, mildly cloudy red is unquestionably natural and is also approachable and easy to enjoy - provided you're ready for the very perky, very dry finish. Bring on the patty melts!

Bodegas Ponce "Las Canadas" Manchuela Bobal Rosado 2020
91
Our Score
This Spanish Rose was a real surprise! One of the greatest quality producers in the region of Manchuela, young pioneer Juan Antonio Ponce took the helm of his winery at a mere 23 years of age in 2005. Well-seasoned by his time working with Telmo Rodriguez, Ponce farms his vineyards biodynamically. The vines for this wine date back to a 1.5 hectare plot of Bobal planted in 1965. Aged in large old French oak casks, bottled unfined and unfiltered, the "Las Canadas" Rose checks all the natural wine boxes. Weighing in at a svelte 12.5% ABV, this keenly textural wine offers blood orange and ripe cherry flavors along with yeasty qualities which highlight an intense personality that layers out on a long salivating finish. Fantastic wine. Fantastic value.

88
Our Score
(5/2021) Packing an easily deployed half-bottle of volume in its aluminum package, this playful, fruit-packed red-wine-in-a-can is just what the doctor ordered for summer. Loaded with a ton of black cherry, strawberry, raspberry and violet flavors along with a little hit of forest floor and smoke, it is filled to the brim with dark colored deliciousness. Tasty and crushable, there is very little tannin, making for a very easy drinking experience that may remind you of Beaujolais. What's more to say? Grab a can and join the fun!

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."
