2015 Valderiz Valdehermoso Roble A big, powerful red with plenty of supple, dry tannins and quite an elegant finish in spite of the generous body. Drinking well now. James Suckling 91 2017-08-11
2014 Valderiz Valderiz Ribera del Duero A rich and together red with blackberries, chocolate and hints of bark on the nose and palate. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold. James Suckling 92 2017-08-11
2009 Valderiz Tomas Esteban Rich and a bit rustic with pronounced herbal and green olive aromas. A ripe, bold wine with very serious dry tannins and good length. James Suckling 93 2017-08-11
2014 Valderiz Juegabolos Ample fruit, enough structure and impressive concentration. Dark plums and cherries pervade the nose and palate amid more savory graphite and coal smoke. Bold and delicious. James Suckling 93 2017-08-11
2014 Boutinot La Cote Sauvage Cote du Rhone Village Cairanne This has enticing mesquite and black tea aromas that give way to a core of gently steeped red currant and plum fruit. Shows a solid graphite edge through the finish. Drink now through 2020. 2,307 cases made. Wine Spectator 90 2017-08-04

2016 Keuka Spring Riesling Wine Enthusiast 90 2017-07-18
2016 Keuka Spring Riesling Humphreys Vineyard Effusive white peach and nectarine aromas. This has a very enticing bouquet. The concentration and raciness on the palate puts this in the first league of Finger Lakes Rieslings. The finish is long and seriously mineral (a slaty touch). Drinkable already, but capable of gaining with up to five more years of ageing. James Suckling 93 2017-07-18
2016 Keuka Spring Riesling Humphreys Vineyard The 2016 Riesling Humphreys Vineyard is sourced from Seneca Lake. It comes in dry, with six grams per liter of residual sugar and 10.7% alcohol. This was showing beautifully even when seen just about two months after bottling. Dry and compelling, it has beautiful tension on the finish that grips the palate nicely, with fine concentration, too. Although it has plenty of perceptible acidity, it is not searing. There is a nice fruity edge, too. It will wake up more as time goes on. This seems to be on track to be a terrific Riesling, granting that it is a bit unevolved just now. It should age pretty well, too. There were 179 cases produced. Wine Advocate 91 2017-07-18
