1/22/2024 - rmalloy Likes this wine: 90 pointsTasted blind. Dense, tangy raspberry. That’s my go-to tasting note for barbera, so that’s what I’m going to guess here. Light oak. It adds to the wine, which is otherwise one dimensional. Appropriate tannins. A well-constructed wine with good concentration. Rating: 90. |

12/26/2023 - Soteriologist wrote: 88 pointsI would suggest this can sit in the cellar for another couple of years, but one nevertheless not expect too much in reward. Leather, blackcurrant, pepper, stewed unripe strawberry on the palate, dry and pretty acidic. Not a solist, good for cutting through heavy foods. |

2014 Enrique Mendoza Alicante Santa Rosa ReservaRed Blend more |
7/11/2018 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 90 pointsApproaching the end of my "Enrique Mendoza Adventure" with this lovely Santa Rosa made from 70% cab. 15 % merlot and 15% shiraz. Having already tried his Dolc De Mendoza, Estrecho and La Tremenda I knew I was in for a treat. The nose is spectacular with a deep and intense nose of black currant, bay leave and sweet vanilla. The taste is delicate with sweet notes of dried cranberries and powerful notes of black pepper and blood. Great acidity and fine tannins gives this wine a really nice structure. |

6/28/2018 - jtsejersen@gmail.com wrote: 85 pointsWhen it comes to mourvedre/monastrell I really feel close to heaven when I put my nose in the glass. This wine has many of elements I love - pepper, black currant, dried meat, a little bacon fat, soya. However, I find this wine to be just a little unbalanced. The alcohol gets too hot for my taste and the tannins are very predominant. Maybe 2-3 years more in the cellar will help shave off the hard corners of this wine. |

2015 Enrique Mendoza Alicante EstrechoMonastrell, Mourvèdre more |
5/26/2018 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 90 points100% monastrell is quite a rarity. In my opinion this wine is to young to drink in 2018, but the nose is spectacular. 3 years from harvest and already I sense hints of damp forrest floor and truffles. Add pretty notes of sour balsamic vinegar, blackberry, savory elements of pepper, rosemary and loads of acidity and that's why I believe this wine will evolve into something magical in 10 years time |

2013 Enrique Mendoza Monastrell Alicante Dolc de Mendozamore |
5/15/2018 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 90 pointsA bouquet of blackcurrant, cherries and fresh red fruit. 36 months in french oak also adds to the complexity without being too vanilla-ish, "over the top" and overoaked. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, smoke, and sweet spices like cinnamon and cloves are all evident. Sweet and intense with very low tannins. First fruits, then smoke and chocolate and lastly an acidic "kick" to the finish. It's packed nicely and sealed with a very pleasant sweetness from the residual sugars left from the fermentation. |

4/14/2019 - jtsejersen@gmail.com Likes this wine: 95 pointsI find this 2015 vintage to have the same characteristics as the 2014. Intense black and red fruit combined with spicy notes of bay leaf, pepper and vanilla. This vintage however seems to have a little more power and a little harder tannins compared to the 2014 vintage. Give this bad boy 5-10 years in the cellar to shave off the hard corners and I'm pretty sure this wine will show very very well. Wow, not bad at all... |

7/1/2023 - JensAgo wrote: 84 pointsGrande Enrique - the Pride of Alicante, here with the steel tank-matured high-altitude La Tremenda Blanco, a blend of 85% Savvy B & 15% Merseguera. Admittedly, I had never heard of Merseguera (Wiki explains: ”a Spanish wine grape variety planted primarily in Alicante, Jumilla and Valencia”). Deep straw yellow with golden reflections in appearance. V expressive nose - ripe stone fruits, peach, yellow apples, mango, pineapple, slightly stale & unintegrated warm palate, decent acidity, honeyed edge & OK, brief finish. |

7/7/2023 - Big Juicy Red Likes this wine: NRA bit of a one note wonder, but it’s a rather nice, fruit-forward note, especially for around $12. Flavors and tannins all well integrated at this point. Moderate minus complexity and not much finish, but again it’s a perfectly pleasant wine when you want something on the fruit forward and fresher side that’s not too extracted or candied. |
