Viñas del Vero White Blend -2003 (WE-43892)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Hailing from a more obscure mountainous region, this Chardonnay-based white blend is a potent brew. The nose offers pointed lime, citrus and cream aromas, which are followed by vanilla-tinged pear and spice flavors. Big boned yet clean, with a piquant finish. 1 Note

Enate Chardonnay -2002 (WE-43896)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Rich and creamy, but lacks zest and drive. The nose and palate offer sweet banana and oak, while the feel is almost too pillowy. Tastes more like a dessert than a dry white should. Still, it’s neither bad nor poorly made. 1 Note

Blecua Red Blend -2001 (WE-44181)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

An eye-opening, intriguing wine from Somontano, at the foot of the Pyrenees. The bouquet is quite interesting, as it offers herbs, ripeness and intensity. Super dense in the mouth, with pure blackberry and chocolate flavors floating atop dynamite tannins. Tons of flavor; from the Viñas del Vero group. 1 Note

Enate Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot -2000 (WE-44198)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Sweet and candied on the nose, which draws you in. Runs a touch chunky, with plum and licorice flavors. Good acidity creates a racy mouthfeel, even teetering on fiery. Tight on the finish, but crisp and fresh. The blend is 80% Cabernet and the rest Merlot. 1 Note

Montesierra Tinta de Toro -1999 (WE-21211)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This medium-weight red’s berry fruit and saddle leather accents can’t rise above a tart, even sour, herb-vegetal note that appears early and remains throughout. Shows modest tannins and a little length on the back end, but the odd note prevails. —M.M. 1 Note

Bodegas Pirineos Macabeo -2002 (WE-28699)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Macabeo, a grape usually used in the cava blend, stands alone here. And it struggles. The palate on this wine is of lime and underripe peach, while the compact finish is dry and edgy. Sparse in terms of flavor, but not bad when it comes to freshness and feel. 1 Note

Bodegas Pirineos White Blend -2006 (WE-70323)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Strange that a 2006 wine will already seem old, but thus is the bane of Somontano, a region striving for better wines but not always hitting the target. This Macabeo-Chardonnay blend goes heavy on the melon and apple character, and in the end it teeters on cider-like. 1 Note

Bodegas Pirineos Tempranillo -2003 (WE-73954)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

The only sweetness on offer is on the nose. After that, things go lightweight and tangy, leaving a racy feel and semiastringent cherry flavors. A real sizzler with zesty red fruit and not much else. 1 Note
