Wine Spectator
(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."

(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."

Lonia Cava Brut Reserva NV
88
Our Score
(11/2020) Coming from the sparsely populated municipality of Subirats in the Penedes region of northeastern Spain, the producer of this tasty and affordable Cava rubs elbows with historic producers like Llopart. Composed primarily of traditional varieties: 51% Parellada, 27% Macabeu, 17% Xarel.lo and the more familiar 5% Chardonnay - this offers a lot of fresh bubbly goodness for the dollar. Nicely dry and clean, notes include apple blossom, yellow pear, lemon pith, white stone and hazelnut.

Bodegas Enrique Mendoza "La Tremenda" Alicante Monastrell 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(4/30/2019) "The pure Monastrell 2017 La Tremenda always represents great value and showcases the behavior of the grape in the Mediterranean climate and soil from Alicante. The grapes from 25-year-old vines fermented in small stainless steel vats, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for six months. There are notes of fresh fruit, rosemary and thyme, with clean aromas, open and expressive. The palate is juicy and round, and this is an entry-level red that represents the higher volume in the winery. This wine reflects the changes over the last seven or eight years: they do three tries of the harvest, and the first bunches tend to go to this wine. The well-seasoned barrels also go to this wine, and the vinification is much softer. The result is fruit-driven, with just a spicy twist. 2017 seems a lot cooler in the Mediterranean part of Spain than in most of the inland regions like Rioja, Ribera del Duero and so on. This is a bargain Monastrell."

Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(12/2018) "Brilliant ruby-red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur and candied flowers are energized by a smoky mineral topnote. Appealingly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering intense red fruit preserve, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out slowly with aeration. Shows hints of star anise and allspice on an impressively long, sappy finish that features discreet tannins and a refreshingly bitter suggestion of blood orange. There's something Pinot-like about this graceful but concentrated wine, which delivers amazing value. (Aged for five months in new and used French oak.) Drinking window: 2021 - 2028."

Vinessens El Vivero de Usaldon Garnacha 2018

Wine Advocate
(4/30/2019) "The new 2018 Coleccion Origen El Vivero de Usaldon is an homage to the old Usaldon vineyard that Bernabe used to work that was ripped out and replaced by almonds. It contained Rojal, Garnacha Peluda and Forcalla del Arco that were used to plant one hectare of mixed varieties, which were used for this wine. It's a five-year-old vineyard in Finca Casa Balaguer, and they used 30% full clusters and the rest uncrushed grapes to ferment in tinajas with natural yeasts, pressed after it finished fermenting and put back in the tinajas for four months. It's clean, precise and quite fruit driven but not banal, with an earthy touch. The palate is medium-bodied and revealed fine tannins and good freshness. It's 13% alcohol and feels just perfect and very balanced. The price for these new wines has not yet been set."

Wine Advocate
(10/28/2016) "I later tasted the white 2015 Mas d'en Compte, a blend of Garnacha Blanca with 20% Pansal (the local name given to Xarello) and 20% Picapoll Blanc from the village of Porrera from a warm vintage. It fermented in oak barrels with selected yeasts after a one-day cold soak and then matured in a combination of new and second use 225-, 300- and 500-liter oak barrels (70% French and the rest Hungarian) for some eight months, the first month with batonnage. What I tasted was a custom cuvee for Eric Solomon, the American importer, and it's not oaky, oxidized or heavy; this is a new blend. There are notes of flowers, pollen, white pear and a touch of honey, a little exotic. The palate shows a fine-grained texture and very good acidity. Drink Date: 2016 - 2020"

Rio Madre Rioja Graciano 2018

Our Score
(9/2020) Another deliciously satisfying smart buy Rioja from Rio Madre. This bottling, uniquely from 100% Graciano, checks in at 14.5% alcohol, yet shows nothing but energy and freshness, with a juicy dark berry fruit and smokey, cocoa infused, gritty earth finish. A serious value that should make everyone who tastes it quite happy.

Arco Iris "Rainbow" Tempranillo 2018 1.0 LT

Our Score
(4/2020) We like Spanish Tempranillo, and we LOVE when it comes in a big ol' 1 Liter bottle! From sustainably farmed grapes that are destemmed and crushed in the vineyard, this red juice is almost too much fun. Fresh with bright red fruits, a bit of chewy red earth and dried red flower notes, this is a seriously gulpable value for everyday pairing.
