IWC Dark red, rich
meaty and pungent aromas of ripe cherry and redcurrant, accented by espresso
and bitter chocolate. Strikes a balance of structure and sweetness that's
compelling at this price point. |

Ripe, dense & velvety
with a fresh berry nose & a lingering, mouthwatering,
chocolate-raspberry finish. Mourvedre, Merlot, Syrah, Tempranillo &
Cabernet. So very different!
A nice red wine with flavors of plums and
cherries. Monastrell is the Spanish name for the grape known in France as
Mourvedre. |

Tinto Pesquera 2004
Castilla Y Leon
North Central Spain
Bodegas Alejandro Fernandez tinto
Pesquera, Pesquera de Duero |
just $29.99
|
The 2004 offers the most
concentrated Pesquera since the mid-1990's. Superb winemaking has resulted in a rich wine with soft, integrated tannins.
Pesquera's typically mineral/gravel nose is already evident in youth, the
oak nicely nuanced in complement.
“From a great vintage, [this
wine] is opaque purple with a fragrant nose of lead pencil, earth, black
currants, and blackberry liqueur that jumps from the glass. This is followed
by a sexy wine with layered blue and black fruits intertwined with ripe
tannins and good acidity. This superb, beautifully balanced effort should
evolve for 4-6 years and drink well for another 10-15.
—93 points WA
Wines produced by Alejandro Fernández are made exclusively from the
difficult, quick-maturing Tempranillo variety, of which he is the
acknowledged master. His world-famous Tinto Pesquera is aged a minimum of 18
months in oak. |

"This red shows
mineral and light earth notes accenting a core of black cherry fruit. It's
elegant on the palate, yet firm and focused.
91 Points" Thomas Matthews,
Wine Spectator, November, 30 2004
"Bright
ruby-red. Complex, youthful aromas of boysenberry, cassis, raspberry,
fruitcake and mole sauce. Juicy, penetrating flavors of dark berries and
leather. Firm acids give this wine terrific clarity and energy in the mouth.
Finishes long, juicy and aromatic, with very firm, slightly drying tannins
and hints of resiny oak and dried cranberry.

$27.99

“Made from 100% Tempranillo as are all
Alejandro Fernandez’s wines, is dark ruby-colored. It exhibits aromas of
cedar, tobacco, damp earth, red currants and blackberry. Firm on the palate,
the wine has ample ripe fruit in a chunky style. The finish is slightly
compact. —87 points” WA
Ancient Tempranillo vines in
the heart of Don Quixote country. Grown beneath the windmills and very good
with sweet tannins framing intense red berry fruit on the nose and finish. |

"Beyond this
wine's muscular texture, extremely black fruit and peppery flavors, there is
a brilliant future. Closed and tight when first poured, air reveals juicy
flavors and a sophisticated minerality. Don't touch this for at least two
years; it should gain in complexity and charm. 91 points"

"With dark fruit,
oak and mineral scents against a thick wall of tannins, this mencía feels
young and unformed at the moment-hours of aeration reveal no further
details. The tension in its fruit flavor and the wine's concentration
suggest that it's just a matter of time in the bottle before it will fully
reveal itself. 91 points"
