2017	Jorge Ordonez	Verdejo 'Nisia Las Suertes'	Limpid straw-yellow. Intensely perfumed, mineral- and lees-accented citrus and orchard fruit aromas show excellent clarity and complicating hints of pungent flowers and herbs. Densely packed and energetic on the palate, offering juicy nectarine and pear skin flavors that show excellent tension thanks to a core of juicy acidity. The mineral quality carries strongly through the finish, which leaves behind sappy Meyer lemon and honeysuckle notes.	Vinous	92		2021-02-15
2018	Dominio de Eguren	Codice'	Vivid ruby. Ripe red and blue fruits and a suggestion of pungent flowers on the highly perfumed nose. Silky, seamless and focused on the palate, showing energetic lift and solid punch to the gently sweet blueberry and raspberry flavors. Supple, even tannins build slowly on the finish, which hangs on with strong, spice-tinged persistence.	Vinous	90		2021-02-10
2018	Jorge Ordonez	Verdejo 'Nisia'	Green-tinged gold. A highly perfumed bouquet displays Meyer lemon, white peach and floral qualities, and a minerally accent adds lift and delineation. Vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors are underscored by a vein of chalky minerality that builds with aeration. Spreads out steadily on the impressively long finish, which echoes the citrus fruit and floral notes. Aged in a combination of 60% large oak barrels and 40% stainless steel tanks.

2018	Jorge Ordonez	Verdejo 'Nisia Las Suertes'	Vivid, greenish straw. Powerful pear, nectarine and orange pith aromas display excellent clarity and a suave floral topnote. Intense orchard and pit fruit and honeysuckle flavors show a silky texture and tighten up steadily on the back half. Well-concentrated but energetic as well, delivering strong, floral-tinged persistence, repeating florality and solid final grip. From a vineyard that was reportedly planted in 1885; all large neutral French oak barrels.	Vinous	93		2021-02-10
2020	Decibel	Malbec Nouveau 'Giunta'	Big bursts of spicy fruit. It smells like cooking herbs and blackberries. The palate is juicy and fat, with great acidity brightening everything up. This is an excellent wine to chill down and sip with a cheese plate, some good friends, and a sunset.	VInePair	90		2021-02-05
