Community Tasting Note

  • Eric Likes this wine: 97 points

    April 25, 2019 - Celebrating CellarTracker's Fifteenth Anniversary (Seattle, WA): Wow. Wow. Wow. I don't have a lot of Rayas in the cellar, and I don't often open them, but they are such a treat. Light in color, almost pale, and faintly cloudy, this is a surprisingly powerful wine that is far more intense than the color would suggest. Screaming of white pepper, pine needle and cherry. Hyper-cherry. This is such a joyous and pure expression of Grenache, faintly sweet on the approach but more spicy and savory as you sit with it. Just haunting. This is still extremely primary. Very pure.
