Bodega Cuarto Dominio |
Chento Vineyard Selection Malbec |
The depth and beauty is here right away on the nose with plums, wet earth and dried flowers. Full-bodied, chewy and intense. Love the finish. Solid. All together. Drink now or hold. |

A fantastic young wine with superb density and structure. Agile and racy. Full body, silky and firm tannins and a bright finish. Love the walnut, dark chocolate and dark fruit character. Best ever from here. Drink or hold. |

Bodegas Y Vinedos Valderiz |
Juegabolos |
This bold red delivers sweet fruit flavors of black raspberry and cassis, backed by vanilla and toasty oak hints and accented with floral and mineral notes. Round and plush, this is supported by firm tannins and juicy acidity. Drink now through 2024. 250 cases made. |

Bodegas Y Vinedos Valderiz |
Juegabolos |
Toasty aromas suggest maple, along with a note of sawdust to accompany earthy berry scents. A rich, pure palate is intense but shows balance and comportment. Blackberry, cassis, peppery spice and integrated oak flavors are detailed, with a smooth finish. Drink this full-bodied wonder through 2028. Varietal Tempranillo; highest vineyards 2,625 feet.

De Chiripa |
Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and dried violets follow through to a medium-to full-bodied palate with firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Needs a year or two to soften, but serious. |

Bodegas Nekeas |
El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa |
A ripe and rather complex garnacha/grenache with black raspberries and delicate wild-herb notes. Plenty of rather fine-grained tannins and a fresh, long finish that promises some aging potential. |

Ramirez de la Piscina |
Gran Reserva |
Very brash, ripe and dark toasted spices here. Plenty of oak. The fruit is in the ripe, dark-plum zone. On the palate, there’s a wealth of rich, dark chocolate and roasted coffee with a smooth, supple array of fine tannins. Good freshness. |

Candoni |
Organic Pinot Grigio |
Silvery straw color. Aromas and flavors of apricot, honeycomb, limestone, and dried fruits and nuts with a satiny, vibrant, fruity light-to-medium body and a graceful, complex, medium-long raspberry pavlova, lime zest, and Turkish delight finish with fine, fruit tannins and no oak. A beautiful, delicate, serious expression of pinot grigio. |
