(3/1/2018) "Made from 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, 10% Graciano, the 2014 Torre Muga is heavenly stuff that's from the oldest vineyards of the estate. This cuvee comes from sandy loam soils, was completely destemmed and saw malolactic fermentation in barrels followed by 15 months in oak prior to bottling. Blackcurrants, blackberries, charcoal, dark chocolate, and pencil lead notes all emerge from this big, rich, beautifully concentrated, yet fresh, vibrant and pure Rioja that has a stacked mid-palate, ripe, polished tannin, notable freshness, and a pure, elegant, yet powerful style. It's a beautiful wine to drink over the coming two decades. Maturity: 2018 - 2038"

Dominio Basconcillos "Vigna Magna" Ribera del Duero 2014
94
Wine Spectator
(10/15/2018) "This modern red shows a broad, plush texture backed by well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity. Currant and plum pudding flavors mingle with espresso, licorice and mineral notes, which give way to a finish scented with floral and chocolate accents. Drink now through 2028. 300 cases made."

Envinate "Albahra" Vino de Mesa Alicante 2018
90
Our Score
(1/2020) Made from 70% Garnacha Tinorera (Alicante Bouschet) and 30% Moravia Agria, Envinate's "Albahra" is a wine that delivers the goods every vintage at a remarkable value. Given the ratio of red-fleshed Alicante Bouschet, one might expense this to be another dense, heavy Spanish red, yet there is quite a bit of lift here, with delicate floral and mineral qualities to back up its juicy red fruit and Mediterranean spice. Its heft is perfectly balanced with its fresh acidity, making it a versatile food wine, but a particularly great pairing with roasted meats and well-spiced seafood. Unfined and unfiltered.

Descendientes des Palacios "Villa de Corullon" Bierzo 2015

James Suckling

Wine Advocate
(8/31/2017) "Ricardo Pérez Palacios told me his favorite overall vintages for Bierzo are 2001, 2012 and possibly 2015, because he sees them as very complete years, even if 2015 didn't have as perfect conditions as 2001 and 2012; the 2015 Corullón is a perfect example of that, a really pretty wine, open, where I see the similarities with 2012. They use many of the vineyards year after year, all of them around the village of Corullón, all planted with a field blend of varieties, and they have been increasing the percentage of white grapes from those vines that they include in the cuvée. In 2015, it can be almost 9%, mostly Palomino, and they feel it polishes that slight bitterness in the finish of the Mencía, reminiscent of green almonds. Of course, there are also other red grapes, like Alicante Bouschet, Gran Negro, Pan y Carne and Negreda, that might contribute to some 2% of the volume. 19,572 bottles, 720 half bottles, 450 magnums, 45 double magnums and 30 Jeroboams were filled between May 11th and 17th of 2017."

Oriol Artigas "La Canya" VdT Alella White Blend 2018
92
Our Score
(8/2020) Oriol Artigas has been making wine in the Alella DO just north of Barcelona since 2011, and has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting producers in the region. "La Canya" is 80% Garnatxa Blanca and 20% Godello co-fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel seeing two days of skin contact followed by six months on lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deliciously supple and fresh, with a fine balance of fruit and marine-mineral qualities, aromas and flavors of green apple, papaya and pineapple abound, framed by wisps of sea breeze and limestone. Open this with flaky white fish and grilled vegetables and you will have done a very kind thing for yourself.

Torres "Salmos" Priorat 2016
92
Wine Spectator
(10/15/2020) "Earthy and mineral notes frame a core of plum and wild herb flavors in this thick red. Firm tannins and balsamic acidity support the dense texture. Subtle, savory and intense. Carignan, Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 891 cases imported."

Fuentes del Silencio "Las Jaras'" Castilla y Leon Mencia 2016
91+
Our Score
(12/2018) Ted Vance is the owner of The Source Imports. He perfectly illustrates why their newest Spanish producer is truly something special. "A blend of Prieto Picudo, Mencia and Alicante Bouschet, Las Jaras comes from vineyards located at the south of the Jamuz Valley. The soils are colder in this area with a higher content of iron and clay. The grapes were co-fermented over thirty-five days with native yeasts and 75% of its stems in large vertical French oak fermenters. After pressing, the wine is put back into the same large oak vat for nine months of aging. This is a wine of tension, vertical structure, texture and freshness imparted by its cold soils and the strong diurnal shift between day and nighttime temperatures. Once the cork is pulled the wine's frequency rings at a high tone and finds its footing within fifteen minutes and begins its vertical climb, which carries on with almost more strength into its second day."

Bodegas Bhilar "Terca" Rioja Blanco 2010
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $29.99!
Cool closeout opportunity on a truly esoteric, decade-old traditional white Rioja.
93
Wine Advocate
(4/29/2015) "The classically proportioned 2010 Terca is sourced from two clay-rich old vineyards from the Elvillar village in the Rioja Alavesa subzone, mostly Viura with some 10% Malvasía Riojana (aka Alarije) produced with Sampedro's unusual modus operandi for these low-quantity whites: the grapes are hand-harvested into 400-liter containers and on arrival at the winery the whole bunches are foot trodden and they stay there macerating with the stems and skins for a week until fermentation starts. Then they are pressed, and finish fermenting in used 500-liter oak barrels where the wine ages for two years. It feels a little neutral with quite an imprint from the elevage, in the style of the white Riojas form yesteryear. It is evolving slowly with shy aromas of chamomile and aromatic herbs, hints of beeswax and honey, all of it in a subtle way. It has a solid palate showing good balance, which should secure it a nice evolution in bottle. Drink Date: 2015 - 2022."

Wine Spectator
(8/31/2020) "'Highly Recommended'. This brawny red shows a savory character, with loamy earth, black tea and tobacco notes framing a rich core of currant and blackberry flavors. The muscular tannins are balanced by juicy acidity. Dense, balanced and expressive. Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2032. 2,500 cases made, 1,250 cases imported."

Herencia Altes "La Serra Negre" Terra Alta Red Blend 2015

Only 167 cases of this Catalan beauty were produced!

Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "The 2015 La Serra Negre is a blend of old-vine Carinena with 20% Garnacha from a single vineyard that names the wine. I see a lot less oak here, and the wines are showing better balance, more purity and letting the terroir shine through. This is a great Carinena with the floral and tree bark notes, both earthy and ethereal. The palate shows some grainy, chalky tannins that provide a very tasty, almost salty finish. 2,000 bottles produced."
