- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2015
- Serving Temperature: 40º-45º F
- Grape Varietals: Verdejo
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Angel Rodriguez continually fashions the quintessential Rueda Verdejo, which by all accounts is one of Spain’s most compelling white wines. And to no one’s surprise, the 2015 Martinsancho continues this iconic winemaker’s acumen with his beloved Verdejo. Farmed organically, the 2015 Martinsancho sports the wine’s usual sun-splashed robe and offers plenty of alluring aromatics, too. A light but amplifying bouquet of apricot, citrus, spring flowers, minerals, and liquid stones tantalize the nose. And as always, the purity and sensual appeal...
- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2011
- Serving Temperature: 60°- 65° F
- Grape Varietals: Mencia
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Losada’s 2011 Altos de Losada Bierzo Mencia offers a deep ruby red robe along with an alluring set of aromatics reminiscent of ripe Bing cherries, blackberries, purple plums, Asian spices, and wild herbs. Amancio Fernández’s elegant Mencia also offers elegance and a depth of complexity rarely found in other Bierzo wines. Simply put, it’s hard to resist this lush hedonistic Mencia, which offers pure velvety fruit flavors, subtle minerality and...
- Country: Italy
- Wine Vintage: 2014
- Serving Temperature: 59°-64° F
- Grape Varietals: Nero d’Avola
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
The deeply colored 2014 Centonze Nero d’Avola provides more than a glimpse of Sicily’s viticultural renaissance. More importantly, Centonze’s Nero d’Avola offers a clean, fleshy, full-bodied red wine with a hedonistic bent. Upon first opening, however, one could easily be fooled by this sleeping beauty, as the wine appears light and sleek and not quite as powerful as one would have expected. Give the 2014 Centonze Nero d’Avola a little time to...
- Country: Italy
- Wine Vintage: 2015
- Serving Temperature: 40º-45º F
- Grape Varietals: Garganega
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Although Soave bears the distinction of being the largest DOC in Italy for the production of white wine, only several dozen Soave producers fashion wines of superior character and quality. La Cappuccina is unquestionably one of those elite. The 2015 La Cappuccina Soave bears the beautiful golden robe of the noble Garganega grape, replete with the luster of the radiant Italian sun. An enticing aroma, resplendent with hints of acacia flowers...
- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2012
- Serving Temperature: 60°-65° F
- Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Vinyes del Terrer made its North American debut with the estate’s outstanding 2010 Terrer d’Aubert Tarragona Cabernet Sauvignon. For the record, the 2012 Terrer d’Aubert Tarragona Cabernet Sauvignon (this month’s feature) is every bit as delicious and engaging as the 2010. But don’t just take our word for it. The 2012 Terrer d’Aubert Cabernet Sauvignon earned 92 points and a rave review from Wine Spectator. A wonderful bouquet, redolent with the scents of woodland blackberry, cassis, and fennel foreshadow this Terrer d’Aubert Cabernet’s rich...
- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2012
- Serving Temperature: 57-65 °F
- Grape Varietals: Graciano, Tempranillo
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
The 2012 Montaña Rioja Crianza from old vines comes across as classical Rioja Alta. A blend of 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano, Montaña’s Crianza could easily be mistaken for a Reserva. Having spent 12 months in seasoned French oak barrels (the minimum time in barrel for Rioja to qualify as Reserva), Montaña’s Crianza exudes the warmth and velvety characteristics of a traditional Rioja Reserva. Spice, new leather and deep blackberry fruit...
- Country: Argentina
- Wine Vintage: 2013
- Serving Temperature: 40° F
- Grape Varietals: Chardonnay
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Luca’s barrel-fermented Burgundian-style 2013 G Lot Chardonnay hails from a deserted, rock-strewn vineyard in the Gualtallary district, an isolated patch of vineyard at the very top of Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Like the finest vineyards in Burgundy and Champagne, Gualtallary enjoys a relatively cool climate and its soil is well-drained and rich in limestone, making it an ideal site for the cultivation of Chardonnay. The Gualtallary (hence the name...
