(2/2018) The "Joven de Vinas Viejas" is a recent addition to Goyo Garcia's line. "Joven" in this designation means young or fresh, and that is precisely what this wine embodies. It just screams freshness! The fact that this cuvee also comes from some serious old vines doesn't hurt one bit, and lends plenty of depth and structure to this beautiful, vibrant rendition of Tempranillo. Many of the vines he works with are over 80 years old. The fruit is super tart and snappy, with a sharp edgy quality that plays well with the high acid. Think freshly pulled blackberries from the bush. The fresh berries are backed with notes of lightly dried leather, baked clay, wild herbs and solid core of black rock minerality, all wrapped in a rather lithe package. Goyo's wines are a revelation, offering an interpretation of the region that harkens back to a simpler bygone time.

(4/2019) We are a more-than-solid 91 points on this 100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo) from a 125 acre organically farmed vineyard in the northernmost extreme of the region. We were very tempted to award it 92. Six months aging in French oak provides initial aromas of vanilla, oak and spicy cherry. There is an incredible balance of ripe fruit, oak, smoke and spice - and after a few swirls, it gains even more complexity. A wonderfully layered, mouthfilling and enjoyable wine with soft tannins on the finish.
