Friday Night Tasting Lineup

 

  

2008 Estacada Vin. 4 month in Barrel Cabernet Tempranillo 

 Tierra de Castilla - This is the expression of the grape with its deep color an fruit. It has a modern type mono-varietal wine character, with an intense cherry edge and a violet shade. Its bouquet is powerful, rich in edges of ripe blackberry with a great fruity taste that reminds jam. It is meaty in mouth, with a deep flavor to black wild fruits with tasty and ripe tannins.

 

  

Our Price: 10.97

  

 

2010 Estacada 6 month in Barrel Tempranillo

Concentrated ruby colors showed in the glass with a vibrant red rim and aromas of ripe raspberry, violets, smoky caramel, and a slight bubblegum tone on this 6 month barrel aged Tempranillo. Despite the oak aging, this wine was well integrated and the dominant character was a fresh, brambly black cherry character, with underlying smoke tones and a warming finish of baking spice.

 

Our Price: 14.57

2009 Chateau Beynat Cuvee Leonard 

Organic. Derek Smedley - MW - There is a lot of power on the palate, ripe fruits backed by slightly fresher red cherry and raspberry. The tannins feel ripe emphasizing the richness of the fruit and leaving the back palate feeling quite lush. Young, still a little tight for the warm year, medium body with dark plum & berries, fresh, young tannins. Will improve greatly with another year in the bottle to calm down a bit. Great vintage. Now certified organic by Ecogert of France.
