Featured Wines:
This red is dense yet lively, with floral and smoke notes that frame bright cherry and red plum flavors, backed by mineral, licorice and garrigue details. Bright acidity enlivens the silky texture, supported by well-integrated tannins. Cariñena and Garnacha
The red flagship 2006 Viña Tondonia Reserva was inspired by the vineyards of the Médoc but produced with local grapes, 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 5% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, which achieved 13% alcohol in 2006. It always matures in used American oak barriques for some six years. The oldest of all the reds I tasted, it was also the one with more freshness, which speaks to the quality of the vineyard.
This is a remarkably lively wine for a 12-year-old Rioja with notes of licorice and dried cherries and a very elegant tannin structure that runs through the medium to full body of this red like a silk thread. The dry finish is long and polished.
Still fresh and fruit-driven after fifteen-plus years in the bottle with nicely-balanced notes of sweet, fresh white peach, dried granny smith apple and tangy lime zest. The spice notes the vineyard is famous for have softened with time but are still present: faint cinnamon, nutmeg and white pepper that linger on the finish.
The 2017 Côtes Du Roussillon is made from Syrah and Grenache brought up mostly in foudre. Its inky ruby color is followed by a ripe, voluptuous, yet beautifully pure red that has fine, silky tannin, notable purity, medium to full-bodied richness and a great finish. This region has been on a string of impressive vintages, and this is another wine from the Roussillon that more than over-delivers.
