| Tasted by domo1944 on 1/21/2010 & rated 88 points: Peppery fruit with nice color and nose.Mild tannins and a fairly short finish. (227 views) | |
| Tasted by BrooksT on 1/12/2010 & rated 86 points: (202 views) | |
| Tasted by Sauvyfan on 12/30/2009 & rated 82 points: Dark blackberry and plum on the nose, but it's buried behind the goopy vanilla oak. Again on the palate, very oaky with a lengthy finish. (376 views) | |
| Tasted by Haggis on 12/4/2009 & rated 88 points: Good nose of dark fruit and oak. Palate rewarded with black cherry, plum, licorice, and smooth tannins. Improved on second day, with less heat and better fruit expression and integration with tannins. Drink now with an hour decant or cellar for another 1-3 yrs. (536 views) | |
| Tasted by Wink on 11/19/2009 & rated 89 points: Popped an poured. Translucent purple/red. Earthy nose of leather, vanilla and dark fruit. Fruit-forward palate of black cherry, vanilla and licorice. Nice length. Mild tannins. Pleasant acidity. Very good quaffer wine with excellent QPR. (787 views) | |
| Tasted by winopops3 on 11/15/2009 & rated 90 points: Leather and dark fruit on nose. Nice mouthfeel with ceder, tobacco and dark fruit. Long finish. Quite enjoyable. (842 views) | |
| Tasted by danieladx on 11/11/2009 & rated 86 points: Don't think it aged well. Vegetal, brussels sprouts on nose, less of the blueberry taste from last time. Drink this young. (756 views) | |
| Tasted by Wolfgang on 10/24/2009 & rated 91 points: Figs, coffee and plum on the nose, nicely balanced with a touch of sweetness on the finish. (945 views) | |
| Tasted by W.Simons on 10/12/2009: Showing nice structure, not overblown. Some cedary oak tones. Smokey, dried cranberry. Roasted red fruits. Touch of alcohol, but not overbearing. (1016 views) | |
| Tasted by cpdwines on 9/20/2009 & rated 90 points: (846 views) | |
| Tasted by Windacre on the Slope on 9/11/2009 & rated 87 points: wine is decent, a bit astringent thought, with a lot of bright cherry flavors (1228 views) | |
| Tasted by epicsurf on 9/3/2009 & rated 93 points: (846 views) | |
| Tasted by Rich S on 8/23/2009 & rated 88 points: Popped and poured. Dark purple color in the glass. Very hot on the nose in terms of the alcohol along with some ripe red fruits (plums, black cherry) but the nose was tight overall. Different result on the palate with ripe plum and black cherry notes along with some smoke and warm spices. Full bodied, very smooth on the mouthfeel with a nice finish. This wine got better as we neared the end of the bottle so I definitely think a quick 30 min decant would have really helped this wine show a little better. (1178 views) | |
| Tasted by collinb227 on 8/11/2009 & rated 90 points: Good but not great like the Clio it's big brother (1371 views) | |
| Tasted by herberto on 7/29/2009 & rated 87 points: This is fat, sweet and simple, and has no varietal character or terrior. I'd be more likely to guess the winemaker than the grape or country of origin, let alone region. But it is tasty and easy to drink, as is not offensive in any particular way. (1300 views) | |
| Tasted by JoeTom on 7/10/2009 & rated 85 points: popped and poured. dark garnet color with black fruits, smoke, and sweet oak on the nose. light-medium mouthfeel, good acid, and fake fruit, mocha, oak, and blueberries flavors with a bit too much alcohol. would be a good medium fare food wine. decent, but not my favorite effort from mr. ordonez. (1312 views) | |
| Tasted by DDL24 on 6/28/2009 & rated 89 points: (1020 views) | |
| Tasted by vanpe003 on 6/22/2009 & rated 89 points: Great fruit, but a bit harsh on the finish. Time in the glass fixes most of that. Pepper and dark fruit on the palate. A brighter wine than the '06 Atteca also open. A great bottle of wine for the price. (1429 views) | |
| Tasted by tooch on 5/13/2009 & rated 90 points: A fair amount of wood smoke dominate the nose with raspberries, and cranberries tucked in. The mouthfeel is nice and silky - this is a remarkably smooth wine for under $12. The fruit easily stands up against the alcohol and the finish has lingering flavors of chocolate and coffee. Great QPR - find this wine. (1264 views) | |
| Tasted by JeremyQ on 4/14/2009 & rated 88 points: On opening, strong heat on the nose - not surprising when you see its 14.5% alcohol. Fruit initially muted by the heat then some sour cherries starts to peak through. On first taste, a bit of fruit but quite a bit of heat. Left it open for a bit and the wine starts to come around. The heat subsided after about 45 mins and it become quite a easy fruit forward quaffing wine. Probably could keep 12-18 mths, probably not much longer than that. Ok, midweek wine at <$12. (1369 views) | |
| Tasted by herberto on 4/12/2009: At this price point, who can complain? This is a well made wine, with good concentration and fruit. But it is totally generic. This could be any grape, from any place . . . made by Chris Ringland. There are interesting wines to be found, even at this price point, if you are willing to look. Try Loire valley reds, or Austrian reds. (1351 views) | |
| Tasted by Epineiro on 4/12/2009 & rated 87 points: Drank w gina & oscar at home good (1189 views) | |
| Tasted by lebo on 4/10/2009 & rated 87 points: Very dark color. Pretty harsh and weird. (1641 views) | |

About red wine Vinos de España - Wines of Spain (Instituto Español de Comercio Exterior) | Wikipedia Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos and Amontillados. But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info. Located in Southeastern Spain, the "lost" region of Yecla lies to the east of Jumilla and to the west of Alicante. Fortunately, this region was spared much of the wrath of the phylloxera plague, and many ungrafted and extremely old vines remain. The Yecla region’s progressive leader, Bodegas Castaño, has long been an advocate of the Monastrell varietal, also known as Mourvèdre. The varietal is best regarded for its influence on the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape where the terroir and climate is not dissimilar to that of Yecla. Both benefit from a very warm, Mediterranean climate with warm days and nights. |
