2012 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Bosconia
4/21/2024 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 95 Points
Lopez never maps to the vintage charts, does it? This is one of the most pleasurable Bosconias in years. It has all the trademark feminine, Burgundian elegance but the fruit is warm and still halfway between youthful ripeness and its autumnal stage. It also has a smokiness on the back end that made it a remarkably synergistic, even synaesthetic, wine pairing with applewood smoked vegetables.

2022 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Summer Salters Rosé Shake Ridge Ranch
4/20/2024 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine:
This is so different from the first Summer Salters. which I found like a more sprightly and exotic version of a Provencal rose. This one seems to come from a totally different place (even though it comes from literally the same place and the same grape blend too). It reminds me of a Cotat rose, minerally with a light, minimalist touch from the skins. Everything is closer to the vest and while I admit the first installment was more exciting to me, I’ve been going through bottles of this since last spring and I think it’s just now found it’s equilibrium. SS1 was a chaise-lounge-at-the-beach wine and SS2 is a leather-easy-chair-in-the-library wine. They both work. Can’t wait for the episode 3.

2022 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Mind Left Body Mourvèdre
4/20/2024 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine:
This is going to go down as one of the YEAH! greats. I don’t know if it’s the mold for another signature wine here or if the stars aligned in a way that made it irreplicable. Either way people will be talking about this for a long time. It is the vinous embodiment of the color red, the reddest of all reds. Remember how Bob Ross used to have funny names for all his colors like Van Dyke Brown and Yellow Ochre but red was just Bright Red? This is Bright Red. It is a coulis of red berries steeped to perfection totally streamlined and edgeless with the texture of flowing satin. Everything is done with the most gentle touch, the way Bob does the sky and the reflection in the lake as opposed to the happy little trees. It’s vivid enough to be a wine of joy but mellow enough to be a wine of contemplation. I nursed a bottle for days and it never failed to make me say aaaaah.
