2022 Mar De Frades Albarino, Rias Baixas, Spain $22.99
Mar de Frades is a luminous wine, with a bright lemon colour and sparkling lime reflections just begging to be discovered. On the nose, it is lively and intense, with juicy fruit (pear and apricot), white flowers (gardenia) and tropical fruits (lychee, pineapple) that hold delicate balsamic and fresh nuances. In the mouth, it is fluid and refreshing, and at the same time tasty and energetic. Its perfectly drawn acidity evokes the Galician landscape and envelops you in a saline and vibrant sensation with a consistent, long-lasting finish. It is pure Atlantic character in Albariño form.
2022 Ramon Bilbao Verdejo, Rueda, Spain $13.99
Pale yellow in color with greenish reflections, and of medium intensity. It is a clean and bright wine, forming tears. Fresh, with balanced body and acidity, and an intense aftertaste. Fresh fruit with herbal and floral notes reappearing in retronasal. High intensity of fruity and floral aromas with notes of grapefruit and orange blossom. It has herbaceous aromas like fennel, and notes of freshly cut grass.
Perfect with cold dishes such as creams, steamed vegetables, salads, cream cheeses and white meats.
2022 Gotas De Mar Godello, Ribeiro, Spain $23.99
Brilliant pale lemon colour. Aromas of yellow stone fruits, stony minerals and a hint of fresh sea breeze. On the palate, tropical fruits and stony minerals balanced with a mouthwatering acidity and a long refreshing finish.
2021 Tosalet Montsant, Spain $16.99
Garnacha - Carignan
On the nose we find red fruit aromas like cherries and berries. In the palate the wine is dry, full bodied, with mineral notes and juicy fruit. Fresh with balanced acidity, soft tannins and a long aftertaste.
2018 Zinio Rioja Crianza, Rioja, Spain $16.99
Aromas of blackberry, pomegranate and roasted fennel waft from the glass. Blackberry and black-cherry flavors set into downy tannins are backed by notes of chocolate-covered espresso bean, almond toffee and violet. Flowers and berries drift into a pleasing finish. — Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast
2018 Zinio Rioja Reserva, Rioja, Spain $25.99
Color: Picota cherry color, with ruby nuances, high robe, clean and bright.
Nose: Very complex nose, highlighting ripe fruit and spicy notes, liquorice, toffee and cocoa.
Mouth-feel: Its entry into the mouth is silky, leaving a velvety and persistent finish. With memories of coffee. It is an elegant, round, delicate and expressive wine.
Aromas of cherry pie, nutmeg and caramel set the scene for cassis, purple-plum, eucalyptus, caramel and baking-spice flavors. This wine is full textured, with plush tannins that endure on the tongue and gums. It would be perfect alongside a grilled, well-marbled steak. — Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast
