Wine of the Week
Peay Syrah La Bruma ’16 “The 2016 Estate Syrah La Bruma has a vibrant ruby-purple color and opens with a pop of white pepper over iron, dried violets, leather, aniseed and preserved blueberries with touches of coffee grounds. The palate is medium to full-bodied, opening slowly to super floral flavor layers, ripe and concentrated but light on its feet with a juicy, grainy frame and very long, uplifted finish. Gorgeous! 275 cases were made.” 96 Pts Wine Advocate $55.99/btl

“The entry-level red simply called 2019 Garnacha is what they define as their regional bottling, using grapes from the villages of de Corella, Cintruénigo and Fitero, produced in an approachable and easy-to-understand way. It had a gentle vinification, starting with grapes of moderate ripeness with a good pH, fermented with indigenous yeasts and using 20% full clusters. The difference in vintage is noticeable when tasted with a majority of 2018s; this is a clearly riper and more open vintage, with a more Mediterranean character, with sweet fruit and aromatic herbs. It reminds me of some of my favorite old-time unoaked Garnachas from Navarra. It has a serious palate, with freshness and chalky tannins and a serious finish. Great value! 110,000 bottles produced. It was bottled unoaked in February 2020.” 91 Pts Wine Advocate $13.99/btl
“As virtually all of the various components of Chave’s 2018 Hermitage were still separate, I’ve given a rating that reflects the variability I saw when tasting through the barrels and made a guess regarding Jean-Louis’s blending sensibilities and available volumes. For example, the Péléat (92 – 94), a pretty, red-fruited element could add freshness but is likely to be a small portion of the blend (if it’s even included). More impressive were the lush, mouthfilling Les Beaumes (95 -97) and stony, elegant Le Méal (94 – 96). Lots from L’Ermite (98 – 100) and Les Bessards (98 – 100) will likely make up the bulk of the blend, oozing with liquid stone, intense blueberry and cassis fruit, and possessing firm yet ripe structures.”

Bodegas Frontonio Microcosmico Garnacha ’18 “The unoaked red 2018 Microcósmico Garnacha was produced with grapes from old vines grown on slopes with slate soils at 650 to 700 meters in altitude in the village of Jarque. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and 20% whole clusters that were foot trodden and matured in underground concrete vats for one year. This has depth and complexity that transcends an unoaked wine, with the higher altitude notes of wild herbs, keeping great balance in the palate. There is moderate alcohol, great freshness and complexity. I think this could be the benchmark for a naked Garnacha from Aragón, clearly different from Gredos or Priorat. 23,350 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020.” 92+ Pts Wine Advocate $18.99/btl
