Remelluri "Granja Remelluri" Gran Reserva Rioja 2012
96
James Suckling
(8/2/2018) "The DNA of Remelluri is here. Wild mountain herb character, structured and firm, these tannins are succulent and deeply expressive. Powerful and assertive red plums, wild cherries and roasting herbs with the oak sitting well. Power and balance. Try from 2021."

Bodegas El Nido "Clio" Jumilla 2018
As with previous vintages of this hedonistic beauty, the 2018 Clio is a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 24 months in premium French and American oak. Powering out a concentrated energy that is near impossible to find elsewhere for this price, the 2018 Clio redefines what it means to overdeliver. Pouring its trademark glass-staining purple, it immediately erupts with gobs of dark fruit and underlying smokiness. Look for massive flavors of blackberry jam, ripe black cherry, blueberry compote, smoky maple bacon, cigar box, mocha and vanilla to explode on your palate, along with an entire cabinet of baking spices. The finish is long and clean with a burst of minerality as wave after wave of silky tannins wash over your palate. Plush and impeccably balanced, the 2018 Clio is a pure masterpiece in regular 750ml bottles and even more fun in these rare 1.5 liter magnums!

(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"

Raul Perez "Ultreia - La Cova de la Raposa" Bierzo 2018
This special, singular Mencia is one of our favorite wines of the year. It is loaded to the brim with bright herb-laced, spicy black fruit with incredible length on the hearty finish. Serious stuff, made in tiny amounts and at Vin Chicago, priced $10 lower than any other retailer in the country - last we checked. Grab one of the 600 bottles produced quick!

(6/30/2020) "Cool vintages in warm zones seem to work, and it shows in the 2018 Ultreia Cova de la Raposa, which was not produced in 2017 because of the frost. There is only a 500-liter oak barrel, and the wine feels quite fine for the warmer exposure. The sandy soils produce stress in this vineyard, but in a rainier year like 2018, they are an advantage. This feels harmonious, with black rather than red fruit and some dusty tannins, a little more rustic and on the Rhone side more than Burgundy. There are 600 bottles of this. It was bottled in December 2019."

Raventos i Blanc "De Nit" Cava Rose 2016
92
Wine Advocate
(8/2019) "The very pale sparkling rose 2016 De Nit is a blend of Xarello, Macabeo, Parellada and around 5% Monastrell-so, it's not a bleeding of red grapes but a blend of white grapes with a bit of red to give it a little color. This is their signature rose, with the soul of a white. It keeps all the character of the place and has a little bit of color, very little-it's extremely pale, and some could say it's a white. It has the dry, austere and direct palate of all of these wines, a dry and tasty palate. 2016 seems like a superb vintage for this bottling. This is adjusted to three grams of residual sugar."

(2/28/2019) "Estaladina is the name given locally in Bierzo to a slightly darker biotype of Trousseau, the pale red grape from Jura that is also known as Panycarne, Bastardo or Merenzao. The grape is in the process of being admitted by the Bierzo appellation, but in the meantime, the 2016 Estaladina from Gregory Perez has to be sold without the appellation of origin. It does have the berry fruit, the herbs and spices and the wild twist I see in many wines produced with the grape, here or elsewhere (there are almost no wines yet in Bierzo, but I guess more will come), with perhaps a more Mediterranean touch here. It has a profile sought after lately, perfumed, easy to drink, pleasant and with a medium body and good freshness, clean flavors and no noticeable oak notes. The 2016s seem to have an extra degree of freshness, complexity and elegance. This matured in a 500-liter oak tinaja. Only 830 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2018. Drink Date: 2019 - 2023."

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.

Envinate "Migan" Tenerife Tinto 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"Migan is sourced from three very old parcels of cordon trenzado (braided vines) Listan Negro: La Habanera is on sandy clay at the highest elevation in La Perdoma, Tio Luis is on the middle of the slope and has more clay content, and San Antonio is lower on the slope where the soil is mostly red basalt and sand. The plots were hand-harvested, foot-trodden and fermented separately (some with 100% whole clusters, others only partial) in large concrete vats, then into 600L old French barrels for malolactic and aging for 12 months. Bottling is without fining, filtration or any added SO2. Migan is a volcanic mountain wine, high-toned and vibrant, with smoky strawberry fruit balanced with fine tannins and refreshing acidity. Pair it with roasted meats and full-flavored seafood dishes."

Envinate "Palo" Tenerife Blanco 2019
Winemaker's Notes
"Palo Blanco is sourced from a 1.5ha vineyard of centenarian cordon trenzado (braided vines) Listan Blanco, and is named for the area where it's planted. The grapes are hand-harvested, pressed full cluster into large concrete tank off the skins and fermented without malolactic occurring, then raised in two Friulian 2500L oval foudres for 10 months. Bottling is without fining, filtration or any added SO2. Palo Blanco is a volcanic island wine: high-toned, linear, saline and electric."

Wine Advocate
(8/30/2016) "The valley of Gines names the 2013 Valdegines, a single plot of Tempranillo vines from a cold terroir (the sun leaves at mid-day) in a cold vintage. This is an austere red, serious, quite different from previous vintages. There was some 630 liters of rain in the growing season and the vintage was challenging, but has often resulted in less ripe wines with more freshness. The tannins are a little more severe than the 2014, a wine that should age nicely in bottle, with the freshness of the cold years. Spicy, cold, austere and long. The wood is remarkably well integrated. This is a very good showing for Valdegines; it really impressed me. Drink Date: 2016 - 2022."
