Faustino "Faustino VII" Rioja Blanco 2018

Our Score
90
Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(2/2019) "(all stainless steel) Pale chartreuse color. Vibrant citrus and orchard fruit scents are complemented by suggestions of jasmine, green tea and chalky minerals. Fresh and incisive on the palate, offering nervy lime, green apple and quince flavors that deepen slowly on the back half and pick up hints of melon and white peach. Plays depth off of energy smoothly and finishes long, dry and precise, with a refreshingly bitter citrus pith note lingering. Drinking window: 2019 - 2024."

Evodia Calatayud Garnacha 2019

Wine Advocate
(4/30/2020) "The 2019 Evodia is pure Garnacha from old head-pruned vines in the Sierra Santa Cruz in Calatayud. It fermented with around 20% full clusters in concrete and matured mostly in concrete with just 20% of the blend put in used oak barrels for three months. There is a component that matured in concrete egg that I was able to taste separately that seems to bring a touch of freshness to the final blend, something welcomed in a warm year like 2019, which seems like a fresher version of 2017, when the wines achieved quite good ripeness. The nose opens up nicely in the glass and is quite aromatic and floral, exuberant, with a heady touch of ripe fruit. It's young and tasty, tender and pleasant to drink, with a forward personality. A real bargain. I hope there are more wines like this in Aragon, where the wealth of Garnacha vineyards would make it possible quite easily. 150,000 bottles produced. There are two batches per year. What I tasted had been bottled in February 2020, just a few days before I sampled it. Drink Date 2020 - 2024."

(2/28/2020) "They say their 2018 Nimbus Sauvignon Blanc has more of a New Zealand style than the majority of examples from Chile. It's a little creamier and has lower acidity with a mixture of herbal and somewhat more tropical aromas and a round palate. Drink Date: 2020 - 2022."

Silk & Spice Portugal Red Blend 2018

Wine Enthusiast

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.

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2020) "The 2018 Ali is a blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and licorice are nicely pushed forward in a supple, silky red to drink now and over the next handful of years. Time in the glass brings out pretty cedar, tobacco and floral nuances. This is nicely done. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2026"

(5/1/2020) "Crisp black plum and cherry notes gain ripeness and concentration from nose to finish in this full-bodied but freshly balanced blend of Grenache and Syrah. Unoaked and luminous in freshness, it offers zesty black-fruit flavors accented by crisp mineral tones and fine, persistent tannins. It's a lovely wine to enjoy now through 2025."

Dead Canyon Ranch Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
90+
Our Score
(9/2020) This is the best $10 American Cabernet we've tasted in many, many years. Sourced entiretly from estate vines in the Horse Heaven Hills appellation of Washington State, all owned and farmed by the Mercer family, this wine tastes like it should sell for $20 or more. While the wine leads with juicy and fresh dark fruits, including blackberry, plum and blueberry, there is a bright mineral theme as well as real oak tones that add impressive complexity. Flavors of vanilla, creme brulee, cocoa, vegetable leaf and wet leaves sit atop a legit frame of medium tannins and medium-plus acidity, further legitimizing the over-delivering nature of the wine. This is real Cabernet, and our price is lower than what this wine is meant to sell for. A potential one-off that should be bought by the case and enjoyed over the next 3-4 years.
