Daniel Ramos Kapi Amphorae 2016

Our Score
(3/2019) This beautiful Garnacha from old vines in the high-elevation, steep-sloped region of Sierra de Gredos is spontaneously fermented and then aged in clay amphorae. It is fresh but full with spicy aromas of dried violets and roses, with a very pronounced note of granite and rocky earth, followed by a juicy palate of wild raspberries and black cherries. A more perfect balance of earth and fruit is hard to find at this price. Drink now or hold for a few years.

(2/21/2018) "One of the gems in the Black Slate lineup is the 2016 Black Slate Escaladei which is 90% Garnacha, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Carinena, all of which spent 18 months in foudre and barrels. It offers an incredibly perfumed style as well as more red fruits, white flowers, kirsch, and beautiful minerality. With medium to full-bodied richness, a light, silky texture, and sweet tannin, it pretty much maxes out the QPR scale and is a gorgeous wine. 900 cases. Maturity: 2018 - 2023."

Vina Zorzal "Malayeto" Navarra Garnacha 2016

Wine Advocate
(12/28/2018) "The single-vineyard Garnacha 2016 Malayeto comes from 2.39 hectares of vines averaging 35 years of age in the village of Fitero at 520 meters in altitude on limestone soils. It's a bright ruby colored red, wine with tons of spices, herbs, flowers, notes of bay leaf, thyme and a bright personality. It has a light to medium-bodied palate with unnoticeable oak (it matured in well-seasoned, neutral oak foudres and barrels), with complex stone minerality, a dry and long finish. This is really delicious and a very good value, possibly the freshest of the six Garnachas I tasted from them. Some 12,000 bottles were filled in March 2018. This is a real bargain, one to buy by the case."
