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."

Tenuta di Tavignano "Misco" Verdicchio del Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore 2017

Wine Spectator
(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."

(10/17/2019) "The 2016 Vitiano Rosso offers enormous value. In fact, I cannot for the life of me think of another red wine from Italy that offers this quality at this super low price. This Umbrian red is equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Winemaking is very simple, concluding with an easy three months in barrique. The bouquet is bright, easy and fresh with dark cherry, cassis and spice."

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.

Wine & Spirits
(8/2019) "A quiet wine, from the subtle hue of the color and the gentle mousse to the savory integration of the finish, this melds pale apple notes with mineral accents from the lees. It's a blend of trepat (80 percent) and garnacha, though it has barely a whisper of red fruit. The impression it leaves is tight, simple and classically beautiful."

Silk & Spice Portugal Red Blend 2018

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.

(8/31/2020) "This red is sleek and solid, in the modern style. Bright cherry, berry and currant flavors mingle with licorice, black tea and mineral notes, giving way to a floral and minerally finish. The firm tannins are well-integrated and juicy acidity keeps this lively. Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2029. 7,400 cases made, 2,200 cases imported."

(6/29/2020) "A wonderful example of Torrontes from high altitude vineyards (1,700m) in Salta. It exhibits a pale straw colour with a golden hue. Aromas are vibrant and youthful including rose petals, grapefruit, lychees and a hint of ginger spice. On the palate it is intense, forward and expressive, underpinned by balancing freshness. Alcohol at 13.5% is warm but well integrated."

(10/31/2019) "The unoaked 2018 Malbec Clasico 2018 comes from a very good year, after 2013 and 2014, which were very difficult years, and 2015 and 2016 that saw lots of rain. According to winemaker Leo Erazo, it's the most complex wine to make because of the many different sources of grapes, growers and the volume they make. But they planted 22 hectares in 2012, so they use more of their own grapes; the wine now has some 30% of grapes from Valle de Uco, which is always a cooler region that is noticed in the wine, which is very balanced, harmonious and easy to drink. It has a dusty note and fine tannins; it's elegant and especially very drinkable."
