  The Spanish Table in Berkeley — Authority: 104
  A long time importer friend of the Spanish Table here in California has called it quits and moved to Australia.  He’s given us first pick of his wines at amazing prices and we stocked up on a few choice items. These hearty reds are cellar worthy selections that will be available only while the limited supply ...

• Mount Majura TSG 2008

  
  Tinto y Blanco — Authority: 114
  Another cracking wine from Mount Majura, this time a blend of Tempranillo (56%) Shiraz (31%) Graciano (13%) aged in older wood. I haven’t seen a lot of Graciano aorund, I’d be interested in seeing what else is being done with this variety here. These kind of blends are really showing potential in Australia, and ...

• My Favourite Spanish Red 2007

  
  The Wine Front — Authority: 148
  Presumptions name I suppose, but importer Marcus Gniel is not a man to be gainsaid. He has his photo on the back of his business card you know, which is something that has had a lasting effect on me. I’m thinking of doing the same, being devilishly handsome too, but Mattinson has yet to approve [...]

• ** $ Eguren Tempranillo, 2007, Castilla, Spain - Wine Review and Rating

  
  Spirit of Wine — Authority: 132
  This tasting was conducted at Eno, a wine and cheese and chocolate tasting restaurant that is based in about half-a-dozen locations across North America. The concept is fairly unique: you build your own pairings of wine, cheese and/or chocolate tastings from a wide assortment. In the case of wines, some 300 to 500 ...

• Carchelo Jumilla 2008

  
  Wino sapien — Authority: 126
  Jumilla, Spain. Monastrell (0.4), Tempranillo (0.4), Cabernet sauvignon (0.2). 14% alcohol. Plastic cork. Approx $A25. The stripes reminded me of leggings, which should have been warning enough. . . I have a problem with cute bottles, finding them hard to put down, regretting the decision only later. My old copy of ...

• Balbas Barrica 2008

  
  Tinto y Blanco — Authority: 114
  Some Spanish wine law is a bit out there. Media crianza, semi joven, or barrica are all names for wines that have seen less than 12 months in oak, making the wine not quite a crianza or a joven wine. Now this isn’t an official term, people just make it up, but Barrica (which just means barrel in Spanish) seems to be ...

• Capital Wines The Ministy Series The Ambassador Tempranillo 2008

  
  The Wine Front — Authority: 148
  Phew. That’s a ridiculously long name. Anyway, I’m finding more and more that Canberra reds taste as much like Canberra reds as they do of their particular grape variety. And that’s no bad thing.You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post

• Balbas Reserva 2004

  
  Tinto y Blanco — Authority: 114
  The big daddy from Balbas. Reservas from Ribera del Duero are one of my favourites wines to drink, old or young. The juicy fruit with plenty of complexity is super satisfying. This is along similar lines to the crianza, perhaps a little more traditional in its focus. The vintage shows through here: big flavours, big ...

• Mount Majura Tempranillo 2008

  
  Tinto y Blanco — Authority: 114
  There was a little pile of foam wine mailers in my office when I got back from the US, a couple of bottles from Mouth Majura was stashed away at the bottom. Complete with a hand written  note (I haven’t had one of those in years!) from Frank, the winemaker.  I’ve had a couple of bottles of this wine, of various ...

• Penfolds Cellar Reserve Tempranillo 2007

  
  The Wine Front — Authority: 148
  Peter Gago writes some excellent and very quirky tasting notes to accompany his wines. I try not to read too many of the accompanying notes sent by wineries, but Gago’s are always worth a look. He describes this wine as having ‘a nectar (peach) and pan-juices/demi-glace amalgam hold centre-stage, flanked by cold ...

• Balbas Crianza 2006

  
  Tinto y Blanco — Authority: 114
  This is a new one from Ce Soir, part of a range of wines from Ribera del Duero. One of the older bodegas in the region making very smart wines. Well worth seeking out. There is a dollop of Cabernet in here is well, which is quite typical and traditional for the region…I’m not usually a fan, but there is always an ...

  For the final four wines, I present the remaining bottles that didnt fit in directly with the first two groups, as well as being those that I found superior from a design standpoint. 2008 Wagtail Cabernet Sauvignon , 14.5% abv from Coonawarra, South Australia. Black plum, dark cherry flavors, with a rich cocoa ...

• *** $ Lineas Tempranillo, 2007, La Mancha, Spain - Wine Review and Rating

  
  Spirit of Wine — Authority: 132
  By way of background: Lineas Tempranillo employs 100% of Spains well-known tempranillo grape in its offering, which finishes at 13.5% alcohol. I n the glass: The Lineas is almost black-purple in the glass, opaque within about a quarter inch from the edges. Looks potent! On the nose: Aromatics are a ...

  The Wine Front — Authority: 148
  Love the packaging, the delivery and the wine. Not so keen on the ridiculous (no doubt marketing department inspired and used to running with bullsh*t) drivel on the label.You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
