"...the most complex of these Mencia offerings displaying density, opulence, and length. This pleasure-bent effort can be enjoyed now but will drink well for a decade."

"... dialed in, showcasing the subtle, delicate flavors perhaps closer to Italian Pinot Grigio than other, big, fruity domestic bottlings ... an Alpine twist on the flavors–lemon peel, pineapple, lime, and just a touch of honey."

"... 100% Garnacha sourced from 40-year-old estate vineyards that spent 9 months in French oak. Fragrant black cherries and creme de cassis aromas frame a sweet, succulent, forward offering that will deliver pleasure over the next 8 years."

"A powerful red, with a rich, smoky allure to the dark red fruit flavors that center on plum and kirsch. Shows meaty touches midpalate, with a broad, muscular finish of mocha and dark chocolate. Drink now through 2015. Tasted twice, with consistent notes." - KM

"Pale silver-yellow. Bracing aromas of grapefruit, white pepper and lime zest plus a whiff of asparagus. Juicy and firm but not hard, with excellent intensity for a sauvignon in this price range. The citrus, licorice, herb and anise flavors are complemented by a smoky minerality. A nicely chewy, uncompromising wine with a dusty, long finish."

"The unoaked 2008 Las Pizarras del Jalon is 100% old-vine Garnacha sourced from vines ranging in age from 70-100 years. Purple-colored, it gives up a nose of earth, mineral, Asian spices, lavender and black cherry that jumps from the glass. With excellent depth and grip, gobs of fruit, and impeccable balance, it will continue to evolve for 1-2 years and offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2016." - JM

"The brilliant 2009 Cotes du Rhone St.-Esprit is the best Cotes du Rhone I have ever tasted from Delas. Seventy percent Syrah, twenty percent Grenache and the rest Carignan and Mourvedre, this wine comes primarily form the Cotes du Rhone village of Cairanne. The wine has great fruit and a sweet raspberry and black cherry nose with some herbs, licorice, and pepper." |
