INFORMATION ON THE WINES

(All information obtained and condensed from several Internet articles.)

2015 Sierra Cantabria Rioja Coleccion Privada 

The Wine: Vinous-Rioja, Spain – “High-pitched red/blue fruit, floral pastille, spicecake, coconut & allspice aromas, along with a smoky mineral quality that emerges with aeration… Shows excellent clarity & repeating florality on a very long, spicy finish that’s given shape by supple, even tannins.”

The Winery: (From: Jorge Ordoñez Selections) Bodegas Sierra Cantabria was founded by Guillermo Eguren, a self-made bodeguero, who was, in the family tradition, a viticulturist. His family, native to San Vicente de La Sonsierra, one of the most sought after terroirs in Rioja, had grown grapes in Rioja Alavesa since the 1870’s. For decades the family sold their grapes to local producers, but Guillermo recognized the potential that his family’s vineyards had to create great wine, and founded Bodegas Sierra Cantabria in 1957. Today, the fourth generation of the Eguren family directs all aspects of the winemaking process, with Marcos Eguren as the winemaker and director of operations and his brother Miguel Angel Eguren as the general manager. The family still prides themselves as viticulturists first, and as a result, all of the grapes are estate grown, and they do not source fruit from any third party source. As viticulturists in Rioja Alavesa, they grow a vast majority of Tempranillo, with only a small percentage of Garnacha and Graciano, as they recognize that Garnacha and Graciano do not ripen reliably in northern Rioja, and they do not want to source their Garnacha and Graciano from Rioja Baja.

Bodegas Sierra Cantabria is the family’s original winery, and comprises a collection of their most classic style Rioja wines. Due to their viticultural background, the family’s wines are composed of mostly Tempranillo, as they recognize that Garnacha and Graciano do not ripen reliably in Northern Rioja.

Although the family’s business has evolved over the years through the foundation of other projects, Bodegas Sierra Cantabria comprises their most traditional, classic styled wines. The wines are made from a blend of selected vineyards, as opposed to Viñedos Sierra Cantabria, which is the family’s collection of single vineyard wines.

2015 Adams Bench Reckoning, Red, Columbia Valley

The Wine: (From: Advinetures) This is a Bordeaux type blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot takes its name from the bench outside the principal’s office where students would wait to face their reckoning. Very suave, this shows its red and black fruits profile in a medium+ body. Black cherry, plum and blackberry are supported by hints of baking spice. The terrific balance gives it a smooth mouthfeel. Ripe tannins create definition but do not distract. Polished and refined.

The Winery: Tim Blue and Erica Blue’s Adams Bench debuted in 2005 with their first vintage. Tim, an attorney, and Erica, a physician, had found the perfect spot for this labor of love in a beautiful property above the Hollywood Hill winery area in Woodinville. Tim and Erica’s wines have a stellar reputation, and have been praised by Wine Spectator, The Wine Advocate, and more, with their wines very often earning ratings well above 90 points. Their fruit is hand picked, whole berry fermented, and bottled without filtration, and they feel treating the young wine with respect shows through when the wines are released.

2015 Chateau la Pointe, Pomerol 

The Wine: RP :The 2015 La Pointe is a blend of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc, picked between 27 September for the younger vines for the second wines, and 1 October for the heart of the Merlot, the Cabernet picked 8 and 12 October. Eric Monnoret told me that the 2015 was matured in 50% new oak. It has a comparatively flamboyant bouquet compared to recent vintages of La Pointe, with opulent red berry fruit, kirsch, cassis and patina of tar. The palate is medium-bodied, firm in the mouth at the moment, quite structured, the oak nicely integrated with a slightly savory finish. This is a robust La Pointe, quite spicy in the mouth with a long aftertaste. It will gain more harmony during its élevage.

The Winery: (From Wine-Seracher) Château La Pointe is one of the largest wine estates in Pomerol, making a Merlot-dominant wine. It dates back to 1845, and has been controlled by the d’Arfeuille family since 1941.The La Pointe estate consists of 23 hectares (57 acres) of vineyards planted mostly to Merlot with some Cabernet Francon a mix of gravel, clay-gravel and sandy soils. These sit on a terrace below the main Pomerol plateau, near châteaux Neninand Trotanoy. The estate also boasts 2ha (5 acres) of formal gardens, and in 1868 was one of the first two estates in the appellation to be allowed to call itself a château. The name La Pointe comes from a sharply angled triangular plot near the entrance to the property.

The vineyard is managed plot-by-plot, and individual parcels of fruit are vinified in small vats. Wines are aged in oak barrels, 50 percent of which are new.Since 2006, Château La Pointe has been owned by the Generali France insurance company. Since then, there have been several key improvements to both viticulture and winemaking. These have included removing Cabernet Sauvignon vines, improving vineyard drainage and lowering the yield of Cabernet Franc, as well as renovating the winery’s vat room.

2005 Poesía, Red, Mendoza 

The Wine: (RP): “The winery’s flagship is called Poesia and is a blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It too is sourced from an 80 year old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo. The 2005 Poesia was barrel-fermented and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a high-class aromatic array of pain grille, violets, spice box, black cherry, and blueberry. Smooth-textured, ripe, and sweetly-fruited, this elegant wine is beautifully balanced, nicely concealing enough structure to permit 5-7 years of evolution.”

The Winery: (From WS) Poesia, which means poetry in Spanish, is the latest project of Hélène Garcin-Lévêque, 30, and her husband, winemaker Patrice Lévêque, 36. Garcin and Lévêque are no strangers to wine. Garcin manages several small Bordeaux châteaus owned by her mother, Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard, including Clos L’Église in Pomerol and Barde-Haut in St.-Emilion, while Lévêque makes the wines.

The Bordeaux connection to Argentina is already strong, with several joint ventures — such as Bodegas Caro (between Domaines Baron de Rothschild-Lafite and Catena Zapata) and Cheval des Andes (Château Cheval-Blanc and Bodegas Terrazas de los Andes) — producing wines that try to marry the two region’s styles. But Garcin is looking for something different through Poesia.

“We want to have an original Argentinean wine, and not a copy of a blend that is already done in another country,” Garcin said.

Garcin first came to Argentina in 1998 as part of a group of investors in Bodega Monteviejo, a project led by Bordeaux consultant Michel Rolland and located in the Vista Flores area in the Uco Valley. But with progress there sluggish, Garcin changed her plan. She sold some of her parcels to other members of the group and moved up north to the historical heart of Mendoza, Luján de Cuyo. There she purchased a 32-acre vineyard notable for the Malbec that had been planted in 1935.

The vineyard, which also contains Cabernet Sauvignon, is being farmed organically by Garcin and her vineyard manager Marcelo Casazza. Poesia will not use any purchased grapes, and production will be small: Only 1,300 cases were made in 2001 and 2002, and just more than 1,500 cases in 2003. The wine will retail for around $40.

Though Garcin wants to make a uniquely Argentinean wine, she is blending Malbec — the country’s premier grape — with Cabernet Sauvignon, the leading player in Bordeaux. “Cabernet has better body and tannin structure,” she said. “So it gives more complexity to the blend.”

The wine receives 18 months in 100 percent new French oak, but the barrel staves have only a medium to light toast and the barrel heads are not toasted. This light-handed approach to the élevage allows the wine’s purity to shine through. Samples of the 2002 and 2003 tasted with Garcin showed lush raspberry confiture notes supported by racy tannins.

INFORMATION ON THE WINES

(All information obtained and condensed from several Internet articles.)

2014 Antigua Costa, Wild ferment  Chardonnay, Errázuriz- Aconcagua Valley

The Wine: Winemaker Notes: With a light-greenish yellow color, the Chardonnay has a fresh, expressive nose with tropical fruit aromas fused with mineral notes and a subtle note of toast and brioche from the barrel aging, which greatly enhances complexity. On the palate, a zingy acidity balances out its lush creamy texture.

Robert Parker’s Wine AdvocateThe 2014 Chardonnay Aconcagua Costa was fermented in barrel with indigenous yeasts, and approximately half of the volume underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine rested in used French oak barrels in contact with the lees for ten months. It has a faint lactic nose with some smoky and spicy aromas, a core of yellow plums and waxy apples, as well as some hints of nuts with a commercial, discrete but incipient complexity; it has with an approachable profile without excess (quite subtle within the barrel fermented Chardonnays). The palate is medium-bodied, dry with pungent flavors, good length and lifted by lively acidity. This is a delicious Chardonnay at a very good price. Some 32,000 bottles were filled March 2015

The Winery: Don Maximiano Errazuriz founded Viña Errazuriz in 1870 in the Aconcagua Valley, north of Santiago. This valley has cool, rainy winters, hot, dry summers and moist Pacific Ocean breezes–ideal for growing grapes. Don Maximiano sent for the finest clones from France and with tenacity and perseverance transformed this barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, the tradition of quality lives on with Don Maximiano’s descendant, Eduardo Chadwick–the fifth generation of his family to be involved in the wine business. Eduardo has overseen the modernization of the winemaking technology at this historic estate while maintaining a distinct identity for its wines, dedicated to producing estate grown wines of superior quality.

2015 Yacochuya , San Pedro de Yacochuya, Malbec Blend, Salta 

The Wine: Winemaker notes: An inviting nose of smoke, tar, licorice, soy, black cherry, and black currant. This leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of succulent fruit, excellent depth and concentration, and a lengthy, pure finish.Blend: 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Robert Parker: A blend of 80% Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon grown at 2,080 meters altitude, the 2012 San Pedro de Yacochuya showed some restraint despite its 15,7% alcohol. The élevage lasted one year and it was in 50/50 new and used French oak barriques. But the fruit must have been so powerful that the oak is not perceptible on the nose, and it just contributed to the slow oxygenation of the wine. It has character and good complexity with a mixture of perfumed and soil-driven aromas that are quite serious and elegant. The medium to full-bodied palate is where the fruit also rules with dense, mouthfilling flavors and sweet tannins energized by good acidity. It has concentration and power both in good balance. Utterly impressive! 56,000 bottles produced.

The Winery: (From Wine Searcher) Cafayate is a wine-producing region in the north-west of Argentina. Located within the Calchaqui Valley, Cafayate is arguably the best-known wine region in Argentina outside of Mendoza, and enjoys an excellent reputation due to the quality of the Torrontes and Malbec that is grown here. Cafayate is one of the highest places in the world that is suitable for viticulture.

Cafayate sits at 5600ft (1700m) above sea level, at a latitude of 26°S (which it shares with the Kalahari desert in Africa). This high altitude is what defines the terroir of the region, making it suitable for viticulture despite its close proximity to the equator. The altitude means the sunlight Cafayate receives is more intense than in lower-lying regions, causing the grapes to develop thicker skins as protection against the solar radiation.

The altitude also explains the cold nights, fueled by westerly evening winds from the snow-capped Andes. Temperatures can be around 60F/15C colder than during the day, and it is this diurnal temperature variation that extends the growing season and leads to balance in the finished wines.

2013 Garage Co. Lot 47 – Carignan blend 2013, Viña Truquilemu, Maule River Valley

The Wine: Wine & Spirits: David Mossman started this company in his garage in the Providencia neighborhood in Santiago. Today he and his partners make about 45,000 bottles of wine each year, including 6,000 of this delightful old-vine, dry-farmed carignan from coastal Maule. It feels expansive and opulent, with tons of ripe red fruits flavor plus notes of violets and spice, all energized by mineral acidity. Although it will age with grace, you may want to pour it now with lamb kebabs.

Robert Parker: There were 19 barrels of the 2013 Truquilemu Vineyard Lot #47, which is from the Empedrado zone in the Maule Valley. This is closer to the coast full of granitic soils with some layered parts, kind of schists, which allow the roots to go deep. The nose is floral, elegant and subtle, a little closed at first, becoming deeper and more nuanced with time in the glass. The palate shows great, citric freshness with a thread of fine acidity going through its backbone. This is mostly Cariñena mixed in the field with other varieties picked and fermented together, but the Cariñena represents more than 85% of the blend in the wine. It has character, notes of the earth and also those violets only the best Cariñena can provide. Plain great, with a long life ahead. I had the chance to visit the vineyard later on and it’s one of those places that when you see them, you understand IT HAS to produce great wine. And in a fresh vintage like 2013, it certainly does.

The Winery: (From Wine.com): Garage Wine Co. began in 2008 with the idea of making wine on a small scale, a personal scale, by hand with the family. It was (and still is!) physical work, and a therapeutic complement to the hustle and bustle of the new millenium. Few in Chile, back then, knew what a “garagiste” was, nor were they familiar with the gringo tradition of celebrated companies having began “in the garage.” Viñas in Chile were large affairs, named after saints and owned by clubby families with long names full of double rr’s who presided over a rather closed circle. The founders of Garage Wine Co. patented the name anyway and went to work, quietly but surely, content to make wine barrel by barrel and selling it amongst friends and family.

(From the winery’s  web page)

“What’s in a Lot?
We began bottling wine in 2001 and we have numbered each bottling since then with a Lot number: Lot #1, Lot #2, Lot #3 and so on. Seventeen years passed and one of our latest releases, from the Las Higueras Vineyard for instance is Lot #72, that is to say, that it is the 72nd bottling we have done since we began in 2001. And that would be pretty much all there is say about how the Lot numbers work, save for answering the question: why so many?

Why so many bottlings? And so few bottles!
Small vineyards belonging to viñadores make for small bottlings, but the story of how we began working with so many is more of a journey. A long time ago we were invited to see a prized property about some old-vine Cariñena. We were shown a farm in tip-top shape, everything in order and with a fresh coat of paint. After seeing dozens of acres of well-groomed fruit we were shown a small section of specific rows that were available if we were interested. The broker spoke at length about the other well-healed buyers who purchased fruit from the property— we just wondered about what control we might have over the growing. What would it be like to be like to be the smallest customer of a large grower?And what would it be like to work with someone or a few smaller growers? Soon we began to look for smaller growers never imaging how small small would be. And this desire for greater autonomy over the growing— a seemingly small factor in the grand scheme of things would take us on a different path altogether.

We have grown a company around making wine from small parcels of old-vines that belong to separate small growers or viñadores whose families have been working these old vines by hand and horse for quite literally centuries. Conclusion: the reason that we have made so many short bottlings of 25oo to 75oo bottles is that we bottle the small parcels separately. “

2013 Julio Julián,  Bodega Posse, Malbec Blend, Tucuman

The Wine: This wine has a great structure of soft and elegant tannins due to its maturation in French oak barrels for 2 years. The different varieties of grapes make this a complex and mature wine. The wine is a blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Aged twenty four months in French oak barrels and 6 months in bottle aging.

The Winery: We have 20 hectares of planted vine on trellises with irrigation drip that uses high quality water from underground aquifers and is distributed with high precision in order to use it moderately. the projection to 4 years is to reach the 120 hectares of grapevine planted.

The pruning is a fundamental work for which we give special care to remove those sprouts that will not give fruits, remove the fruits in excess and strip the leaves off to achieve an ideal sunstroke and to assure the quality and quantity of bunch of grapes that we want to obtain.

The crop is manual assuring the care of the plant and the grape to obtain the best results both in field and in the quality of the product, the ideal moment the enologist determines it for degustation of the grape and the determinations of degrees brix.

2015 Imaginador, Pedro Parra y Familia, Red Blend, Itata River Valley

The Wine:  A dark color and heavy aromas of savory berry fruits, leather and animal are less than elegant. This is more soupy, sticky and ripe than most Itata Cinsaults. Candied red-fruit flavors finish on the hot side due to 14% abv.

In the mouth the wine shows an incredible mineral attack from the granite soil, very fresh and long. This wine holds natural acidity and no oak

Robert Parker: There is a new red that is produced with old vine Cinsault field blends, from three dry-farmed vineyards in Guarilihue and Florida, planted together with a little Moscatel, Semillon and País, as all the old vineyards have a field blend with multiple varieties. It also has some 20% Cariñena from a separate vineyard. All the grapes from each vineyard were harvested and vinified together, and the blend goes by the name of 2015 Imaginador. It was kept in concrete and stainless steel tanks until bottling in March 2016. It has a really fresh, floral nose with aromas of acid strawberries, a touch of raspberry leaves and plenty of red juicy fruit such as watermelon and pomegranate… It’s very drinkable and fresh, with unnoticeable tannins. A red of thirst, and a very good one at that! 13,500 bottles produced.

The Winery: There is no published  information about this winery. Valle de Itata is south of the Maule Valley.  Traditional varieties still predominate in Itata, believed to be Chile’s first wine region, as the original vines entered through the port of Concepcion. This historical, cool-climate region is dominated by plantings of Carignan, Muscat of Alexandria and Pais (aka Mission, aimed more at domestic cosumption but adventurous growers are planting noble varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay with good results.

Primera Degustación Extraordinaria: Malbec

  • Por Mario Aguilar
    Tuvimos ayer una reunión muy buena, a mi entender. El planeamiento de esta degustación se desarrolló a través de varios meses y no estuvo libre de altibajos, incluyendo cordiales discusiones y cambios de enfoque, y algunos folklóricos episodios en ”cyberspace”, todos los cuales enriquecieron nuestra experiencia para realizar eventos especiales y contribuyeron a solidificar las bases de confraternidad del grupo. La preparación dio los frutos esperados. Aquellos de nosotros que cocinamos, sabemos que el mejor ingrediente de una buena comida es el apetito de los comensales. Talvez en este caso, la impaciente espera por degustar la excelente selección de Malbecs que generosamente donaron los socios, constituyó también un favorable ingrediente no medible en este evento.
    El menú buffet resultó muy conveniente porque permitió degustar los 5 primeros vinos sin servicio individual a cada persona. El plato principal caliente, que se acompañaría con los dos últimos vinos, llegó muy oportunamente para aplacar el apetito y la necesidad de comida mas sólida. A pedido de algunos Notables, la escalopa de ternera con vegetales se empezó a servir a mediados de la degustación del quinto vino. El postre de frutas de estación agregó un ambiente de frescura de la estación.
    Felipe mostró gran interés en efectuar un servicio impecable, tanto de la comida como de los vinos. El servicio de los vinos fue excelente, en copas limpias (70 en total) y en pequeñas porciones de 2 onzas. Creo que su participación en sacar los vinos de sus bolsas para identificarlos al final de la degustación, fue una indicación de su interés y compromiso con el grupo.
    Para el record, los vinos se sirvieron en el siguiente orden

Paisaje de Tupungato 2004. Finca Flichman, Mendoza
Luigi Bosca Malbec Edición Limitada 2002, Mendoza
Phebus 2009 Bodega Fabre Montmayou, Patagonia
Colomé 2009 Valle de Calchaquí, Salta
Cuvelier Los Andes -Colección 2007,Michele Roland –Clos de los siete- Mendoza
Grafigna Centenario Reserve 2008, San Juan
Château La Caminade – La Comanderie Malbec 2008 – Appellation Cahors, Francia

Juan Luis preparó una nota evaluativa de esta degustación.

Las próximas degustaciones
La Segunda Degustación Extraordinaria de Malbec quedó programada para el 8 de Septiembre. Para la reunión de Octubre. Se mantiene la programación para el jueves 13 de Octubre. El tema de la degustación será ahora “Día de la Madre Patria”. Con referencia a otras degustaciones especiales, se propusieron varios posibles temas, incluyendo: Viejo Mundo versus Nuevo Mundo (por ejemplo: Francia/España/Italia vs Chile/Argentina/Estados Unidos; Vinos Caros muy altamente calificados y vinos de menor precio (un tercio del precio) pero de gran calidad. En este segundo caso, no habría comida y, por lo tanto, el evento no se efectuaría en un restaurante.
Comentarios Finales
Lamentamos la ausencia de todos nuestros amigos Notables que no pudieron asistir a esta degustación, en
