A Wine

Mayol Syrah -2002 (WE-34233)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Only a mild vegetal hint to the nose holds this back. Otherwise, it’s round and chunky, and quite well balanced. The red fruit on the palate is vivid, and the vanilla-tinged oak seems to grace that fruit. The texture throughout is good, as is the color. 1 Note

Mayol Bonarda -2002 (WE-34234)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This is about as good as it gets with Bonarda, a thinner, juicier red with lots of acidity and true red-fruit flavors. Plum, cherry and a touch of oak define the palate, while the finish is dry and expansive. A bit grapy and grabbing, but still a good example of this mostly lost Italian variety. 1 Note

Mauricio Lorca Cabernet Sauvignon -2005 (WE-68184)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Even if this full-bodied Cab starts with some eggy, pastry-like aromas, it soon finds its form. The nose brings char and baked black fruit, while the palate is full of creamy blackberry and brown sugar flavors. Rather rich and ripe, with medium tannins and mild acidity. Drink sooner than later. 1 Note

Mauricio Lorca Malbec -2005 (WE-68183)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This is a delicious and somewhat rare style of Malbec: it has none of the usual oak. What you wind up with is fruity, clean and pure. The body is maybe a touch leaner without the oak; the flavor profile is brighter and more linear. 1 Note

Mauricio Lorca Syrah -2005 (WE-68185)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Starts out all rowdy and sweaty, with animal hide and warm earth. And that all makes sense: this is unoaked, unmolested Syrah and thus it has its funky side. Along the roadside there’s blackberry and pepper flavors and peppy acids and tannins. An interesting ride that’s not without its ups and downs. 1 Note

Mauricio Lorca Malbec -2004 (WE-68186)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Mauricio Lorca makes wine for Enrique Foster but his private label is something to keep an eye on. Poetico is potent and fairly pure; and it contains 10% Cabernet and 5% Syrah in addition to 85% Malbec. The palate delivers hearty blackberry, plum and vanilla flavors, while the finish is sturdy as a statue, with length and firm tannins. 1 Note

Mauricio Lorca Cabernet Sauvignon -2003 (WE-68187)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Attractive and well put together from start to finish. This Cab (with 15% Malbec) is jammed with cassis, raspberry and other juicy berry flavors, while the lushness of the wine rolls over your palate with ease. It’s not easy to find Cabernet this good in the $20 range, so get after this one while it’s under the radar. 1 Note
