The palate shows an herbaceous character featuring lime and white grapefruit that fade away into a short finish." -Wine Enthusiast, Best Buy Mountain Shadows 2021 Red Blend"Notes of tart cherry merge with hints of smoke and spices. It's fruity, has soft tannins and a medium finish." -Wine Enthusiast, Best Buy Mountain Shadows 2021 Chenin Blanc"Notes of flowers and citrus fruit emerge from the glass. It has an herbaceous character with a mix of lime and apples that is lifted by vigorous acidity. Grass flavors close the palate." -Wine Enthusiast, Best Buy Aldea Los Marcos 2019 Bobal"A deep nose of blueberries and blackberries with some bacon and black-pepper spice. A full-bodied Bobal with rich, sweet black fruit, framed by powerful yet creamy tannins. Smooth and quite long. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." -91pts, James Suckling "Saturated ruby. Cherry, blueberry and licorice scents are sharpened by a peppery nuance that builds with air. Primary dark fruit and spicecake flavors are braced by a spine of juicy acidity and show good energy and back-end lift. The licorice quality comes back on the persistent finish, which features gently chewy tannins and a hint of succulent herbs." -90pts, Vinous Todd Randall, Vice President of Randall's By Suzie Shepherd
