Hi Everyone,
As BBQ season approaches, more than a few of you have requested we seek out late-release, classically-styled Ribera del Duero.
Today we shall serve your needs with Vina Gormaz’s perfect-drinking-window 2016 Crianza.
…in the $10’s!
“A compact nose with blackberry and integrated oak aromas leads to a flush, round palate that’s balanced and whole. Blackberry, black plum and cassis flavors are ripe and pleasing, with a touch of raw oak in support. An edgy finish with grating tannins suggests giving this as much air as possible before serving. Drink through 2027. 92 points (reviewed at $26).” – Wine Enthusiast
“A ripe, juicy and quiet assertively fruited wine that has a wealth of red cherries on the nose with crushed flowers and a sappy edge. The medium-bodied palate has a juicy, firm and focused feel with plenty of red cherries and plums. Drink or hold. 92 points.” – James Suckling
Our amazing drivers are warming up for your onslaught via morning calisthenics…
Cheers!
Hannah & Crew
