Naia is, first and foremost, dedicated to making wine from some of the oldest vines in the region and, in the case of this 100% Verdejo, that can mean up to 130+ years old! Made in stainless and left on its lees for four months, it’s bottled clean...

  Winery Notes:  Viña Cubillo wines come from the vineyard called Viña Cubillas, some 4 km away from the bodega, which as with all of the other vineyards, was bought by our founder. Historically these wines were called "Special...

2018 TRUS Ribera del Duero Crianza  FREE GROUND SHIPPING ON 6 OR MORE BOTTLES Decanter: A plush and fabulous expression of variety and provenance with  well-integrated alcohol, tannin and acidity. Will continue for several  years and...

PRIMA Notes:  Clio is the work of Aussie superstar winemaker Chris Ringland.  You might better know him for his 100-point achievements at Rockford, Three Rivers and his own Ringland label.  But he loves to work with old vines and insists...

Winery Notes:  On the nose it displays toasty baking spices, nutmeg, spring flowers, marzipan, and pit fruits. A bit richer and more complex on the palate than the “regular” cuvee, this vibrant wine could evolve for 1-2 years but is...

Winery Notes:  Cellers Can Blau is located in the D.O. of Montsant, which probably has not yet shown its real potential as far as enological quality is concerned. Contrary to its illustrious neighbor, Priorat, in Montsant one may work with many...

Importer's Notes:  The iconic Ameztoi Rubentis rosé is a field blend of the local, indigenous hondarrabi zuri and hondarrabi beltza varieties, grown on traditional trellises high on the slopes rising above Getaria, an ancient Basque fishing...

 Roberto Olivan is considered by many as one of the most exciting names among the new generation of winemakers in Viñaspre in the northern zone of Rioja Alavesa. Most notably, his lineup of sauvage wines he calls Tentenublo. Named for the old...

Winery Notes: Very aromatic on the nose, highlighting the ripe fruit with balsamic tones and a hint of mint that result in a wine of great complexity and elegance. Full bodied and rounded, a classic reserva with a long and persistent finish that lingers...

 Certified organically farmed. No one knows how the Spanish manage to continue to work this magic. In California, say, the box alone might cost more than this wine does! Yes, Jumilla, some thirty kilometers down a windy valley from the ocean on...

The name Petit Pissarres is derived from the word “pizarra,” which is “slate” in Spanish. The unique soil of Priorat is a critical quality factor for the wines. Grapes are sourced from three vineyards in Sant Martí, Mas...

Importer's Notes: The Burato vineyard is in a totally different area on the Miño river, north of the other two plots. Here the landscape is lush with a significantly cooler climate and higher average rainfall. Streams flow directly through...

Importer's Notes:  The wine that has come to define the traditional style of txakolina from Getaria. Light, crisp, refreshing, and low alcohol, Ameztoi Txakolina is bottled with a touch of residual carbon dioxide gas to give it its natural,...

 This vintage yields a more restrained style after the generous  character of the 2019 vintage. The 2020 wines are impressively fresh  with balanced alcohol and aromas, a fresher, more Atlantic character,  and good acidity. It was an...

Wine Advocate 93 Points:   As with many wines this time, I had two vintages to taste of the Reserva from the Tondonia vineyard, 2009 and 2008, two very different, almost opposite vintages. The 2009 Viña Tondonia Reserva, a blend of 70%...

2017 Tendresa Vi Negre Priorat  92 points, James Suckling                 Enveloping black-cherry and blueberry aromas, but also notes of  licorice and smoke. A bold and...

Winery Notes:  This wine has evolved perfectly showing a deep ruby colour with shades of orange. Its nose is persistent, full bodied and showing a lot of mature fruit, being dominated by the Tempranillo grape. Its taste is round, smooth, fresh, full...

The 2017 Buil & Giné Montsant 17-XI  is a blend of Garnacha, Carinena and Tempranillo, grown in the predominantly granitic  soil so typical this mountainous appellation.  We love to call Montsant ‘poor man’s...

PRIMA Notes:  For their rose wine, Bodegas Olivares uses only free-run juice fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.  There is only a short maceration on the skins, which explains the delicate and attractive pink color. ...

The vines, a mixture of mainly Tempranillo with Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, are over 40-years old and have long been bottled as an oak-aged Crianza, although, legally, it could easily qualify as Gran Reserva.   Aged for three years in...

Tasting Notes:  Opaque, dark cherry red. Intense, concentrated. Seductively expressive fruit (jammy cassis) culminating in delicate dried fruit notes (plum) and a distinctive, terroir-imparted mineral nuance. The palate is firm, lively,...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:  The red 2018 Altos de la Hoya was produced with Monastrell grapes from old ungrafted vines. It has a creamy and balsamic touch with sweet spices intermixed with ripe berry fruit and notes of pencil lead and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 Points:The 2008 Vina el Pison comes from a single vineyard planted in 1945 on pure limestone. It is the epitome of elegance with a sensual bouquet, a silky texture, already complex flavors, and a lengthy, pure finish. It...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97+ Points:The 2007 Termanthia is, like the 2007 Numanthia, a bit more accessible than its 2006 counterpart. That is to say that it should begin to become civilized with a mere 6-8 years of cellaring and should offer a...

Robert Parker The Wine Advocate:  92 Points The 2008 Espectacle del Montsant has a very distinctive, oyster shell-scented bouquet that expresses its terroir extremely well, hints of fennel emerging with continued aeration. The palate is fleshy in...
