Sangiacomo Pinot Noir |
Earth, mushroom and forest floor intrigue from sip one in this thick, densely structured effort from the great site. Cardamom, pine needle and cranberry contribute additional intrigue and spiciness to the palate, which is buoyed by bright, lengthy acidity and integrated oak. -V.B. |

Pinot Noir |
Vivid ruby. Sexy, spice-tinged red and dark berry aromas, along with hints of candied lavender and allspice. Sweet, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and spicecake flavors that are sharpened by a core of juicy acidity. Tightens up slowly on the finish, which hangs on with very good, spicy tenacity. |

Brunello di Montalcino |
Aromas of dried cherries and wet concrete follow through to a medium to full body with bright acidity and tangy contrast. Firm and silky. Drink in 2019. |

Valderiz Ribera del Duero |
Dense and muscular, yet graceful, this red balances ripe blackberry and cassis flavors with savory black olive, bitter chocolate and mineral notes. Drink now through 2028.—T.M. |

Mas d'en Gil |
Coma Vella |
This is 70 percent garnacha and cariñena, from vines planted in the 1960s, blended with young-vine cabernet sauvignon. It shows plenty of ripe red fruit and notes of chestnuts, tea leaves and cloves. It’s impressive, with youthful tannins and tight acidity, needing a few years to mellow. Then serve with roast pork loin. |

Coma Alta |
The clean, subtle and mineral 2012 Coma Alta is pure Garnacha Blanca partly fermented in barrel with 30% of the wine also matured in 500-liter French oak barrels for six months. The aromas are pure, with white flowers and some aromatic herbs plus a touch of pollen. The palate is sleek, delineated,and shows very good balance and subdued minerality. The entry-level white here is at the quality level of many of the top whites form other addresses. Intense and elegant. Bravo! 4,628 bottles produced. |

Mas d'en Gil |
Coma Alta |
Bright straw. Tightly focused peach, pear and orange pith aromas are accented by anise and succulent herbs. Fresh citrus fruit and dried pear flavors are lifted by tangy acidity and show a refreshingly dry edge. Deepens on the incisive finish, picking up a minerally quality and showing very good focus and length. Quite lithe but concentrated as well, which makes the food-matching potential here pretty limitless. |

Coma Alta |
From garnacha blanca in the slate soils of La Coma, this begins on notes of butterscotch and honey, then shifts into fresh, vibrant notes of lime and ginger. It has the weight and balance for roast pork. |
