- Grape Varietals: Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Petit Verdot, Syrah
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
The deeply colored and formidable sounding 2018 Bravado lives up to its name. Big, beautiful, and full of life, this field blend of Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Petit Verdot, and Mourvèdre has garnered 93 points from Tim Atkin. P.S. Garcia’s 2018 Bravado Old Vine Red Blend offers up heady aromatics, a boatload of flavors, and plenty of punch, which include a cache of ripe fruits: fresh blackberries, blueberries, and plums along with a dash of delectable spices. Although big and bold in the mouth, the 2018 Bravado never loses its equilibrium. Bravado’s lush old vine...
- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2018
- Serving Temperature: 40°-45° F
- Grape Varietals: Albariño, Godello, Trajadura
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
Although medium-bodied and delightfully lithe in spirit, Adega Cachin’s Peza do Rei Ribeira Sacra offers wonderful energy, intense aromatics from the region’s traditional blend of indigenous grape varieties, and mouthwatering palate appeal. With Godello taking the lead with delightfully round fruit, herb, and mineral tones and Treixadura and Albariño playing strong supporting roles with added dashes of citrus, quince, and tropical fruit, the 2018 Peza do Rei Ribeira Sacra is a true crowd pleaser. Elegant, juicy, sophisticated and downright delicious...

- Wine Vintage: 2019
- Serving Temperature: 58°-64° F
- Grape Varietals: Garnacha
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
To reach the Xiloca estate is no easy feat: one must first climb a steep and narrow road into the rugged heart of Aragon with neither a sign nor a marker to show the way. Instead, a massive orchard of century-old cherry trees with ancient Garnacha vines interspersed among them serves as the sole confirmation to visitors that they have arrived at Xiloca. Whether it is the proximity of the cherry orchard or the propensity for old vine Garnacha to offer savory scents of black cherry, the intensely colored 2019 Xiloca Garnacha offers a deep draught of ripe black cherry...
- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2019
- Serving Temperature: 35°-40° F
- Grape Varietals: Albariño
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
Morgadío always seems to capture the essence of Albariño, and this is certainly true in the case of Morgadío’s pure, energetic 2019 Legado del Conde. With a crystalline brilliance and a vivacious aroma that captures the nose with delicate scents of spring flowers, mimosa, and a gentle waft of sea breeze, the 2019 Morgadío Legado del Conde Albariño makes a splendid introduction to the variety. Dry, vivacious, and hauntingly scented, the 2019 Legado del Conde offers up plenty of minerality and fresh, clean fruit along with a crisp, racy finish that captures Albariño’s unique...

- Wine Vintage: 2018
- Serving Temperature: 58°-62° F
- Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
The strident 2018 Fore Family Vineyards Cobb Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon displays its youthful exuberance with a bold purple color, deep-down Cabernet fruit, and plenty of backbone to guide it into the next decade. Built in the traditional pre-modern style of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the Fore Family’s 2018 Cobb Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon fills the mouth with deep blackberry and mulberry flavors, entwined with hints of clove, cardamom, and dark chocolate. It expands on the palate as it airs, revealing a core of deep-down black currant...
- Country: France
- Wine Vintage: 2015
- Serving Temperature: 38°-40° F
- Grape Varietals: Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
The rich golden orange hue of the 2015 Château d’Armajan des Ormes Sauternes (70% Semillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Muscadelle) foreshadows the unctuous and highly seductive liquid that will soon dazzle the nose and fill the mouth with delight. Each plot of Château d’Armajan’s diminutive 12-acre vineyard was handpicked during 5 successive and selective harvestings, each batch pressed and vinified separately using a bladder press to enhance aroma and avoid premature oxidation before a slow fermentation, and then aged in barrels for 18 to 24 months...
- Country: Spain
- Wine Vintage: 2017
- Serving Temperature: 58°-62° F
- Grape Varietals: Garnacha, Samsó
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
Josep Grau’s bold-flavored 2017 Vespres Monstant provides ample testimony as to why Grau’s wines are consistently among the appellation’s finest. Born of old vines of Garnacha (Grenache) and Samsó (Carignan) in a 4-1 ratio, many of which are 100 years of age, the 2017 Vespres bears a purple, nearly impenetrable color, and a delightfully sensual aroma of woodland berries, wild herbs, and exotic spices infused with a hint of wood smoke. In the mouth, the wine satiates the palate with deep-down fruit flavors, an intriguing hint of Montsant’s mineral-rich soils, most notably...
