Piper Sonoma Brut
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020
“70% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir and small amounts of both Pinot Blanc and wine from an aged reserve blend, this sparkler is fleshy and lush in an expansive mouthfeel of fruit and texture. Gravenstein apple, pear and a touch of honey highlight the midpalate, building to a finish of toast and brioche.”

2013 Vall Llach Vi de Finca Mas de la Rosa
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, September 2018
“This powerful red shows depth and harmony. The thick texture is supported by well-integrated tannins, delivering cassis, kirsch, menthol and cola flavors. Herbal and meaty notes add a savory element. You might call this Priorat on steroids, but this remains balanced and fresh. Drink now through 2033. 30 cases imported.”

2015 Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, June 2019
“This red is exuberant and structured. Ripe yet focused flavors of raspberry, currant and kirsch mingle with savory herb, espresso and mineral notes, supported by muscular but well-integrated tannins and enough acidity to keep the heady flavors in balance. A statement wine, not for the faint of heart. Best from 2020 through 2035.—”

2018 Condado de Haza 20 Aldeas
James Suckling, James Suckling, July 2021
“A rich, structured red with blueberry and blackberry. Toasted oak and coffee, too. It’s full-bodied and chewy with solid tannins and a flavorful finish. Really solid. A little old-school, but shows clarity and focus. From organically grown grapes. Try after 2022.”

2009 Tinto Pesquera Millenium Reserva
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, June 2018
“This red shows density and focus, with ripe flavors of plum and currant mingling with savory notes of smoke, leather and mineral. The firm tannins are well-integrated and balanced by blood orange acidity. Fresh, energetic and graceful. Drink now through 2034.”

2009 Tinto Pesquera Millenium Reserva
James Suckling, James Suckling, July 2019
“A rich and layered red with lots of ripe fruit, yet reserved, thanks to the smoky and toasted oak. A little old-school now, but I really enjoy the richness and flashy character. Earthy and spicy at the end. Drink now.”

James Suckling, James Suckling, October 2021

2018 El Vínculo Crianza
Wine Enthusiast, December 2022
“Editor's Choice. This inky garnet-colored wine has a bouquet of black cherry, cocoa powder and violet. Bold flavors of blackberry, Luxardo cherry, dark chocolate, lavender and orange zest fill the palate, wrapped in a sheath of opulent tannins that slowly peel away to reveal a bright and long-lasting finish”

2015 Vall Llach Vi de Finca Mas de la Rosa
Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, October 2019
“This red is rich and expressive, in a high-toned, racy style. The plush texture carries bold flavors of kirsch, plum pudding, dried fig and cocoa accented by licorice, graphite and garrigue notes. The big tannins are well-integrated, and balsamic acidity keeps this fresh. Verging on Port-like, deep and harmonious. Drink now through 2030. 146 cases made, 30 cases imported. ”

2016 Idus de Vall Llach
Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, August 2019
“Bold and welcoming black-plum and cassis aromas are helped out by a peppery spice accent. As per usual, this is a full-bodied but not over the top Carignan-Garnacha from one of the region's modern successes. Lush plum, wild berry and chocolate flavors finish savory and smoky not unlike beef jerky. Enjoy Idus through 2027.”

2017 Idus de Vall Llach
James Suckling, James Suckling, July 2019
“Impressive blueberry and flinty, graphite-like aromas here with ripe plums, too. The palate has a super smooth, sleek and deliciously juicy feel, delivering plenty of ripe yet fresh blue-fruit flavor. Fine, long tannins. Drink or hold.”

2018 Tinto Pesquera Reserva
Wine & Spirits, June 2022
“Gentle blue fruit sweetness meets the savory structure of this wine, combining in a seamless texture that makes it compelling to drink. The impression of silk and satin lasts, bringing you back for more of the generous fruit in the middle of the wine. A selection from the Fernández Rivera family’s 495 acres of vines in Pesquera de Duero, growing in sand and pebbles over limestone, this is remarkably accessible now; the wine’s integration will serve it well as it ages.”

2015 Tinto Pesquera Millenium Reserva
Gillian Sciaretta, Wine Spectator, January 2021
“This suave red has a juicy, full-bodied profile, with raspberry tart, loamy earth, mountain herb and anise notes mixed with orange peel, tea and sandalwood details. The full tannins are polished and give this structure for the long haul. Drink now through 2036.”

2018 Dehesa La Granja
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2022
“Sweet plums and red and black berries with a savory edge of dried meat, licorice and iron. This is quite approachable now, with its medium body and chalky tannins that melt away with the savory fruit on the palate. Excellent length. Already drinkable, but give it another year to allow it to develop more complexity.”

James Suckling, James Suckling, October 2021
“Mulberries, dried herbs, black olives, cedar and baking spices on the nose. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Chewy and savory with a creamy texture. Excellent concentration of flavor, as well as length. Drink or hold.”

2019 Condado de Haza Crianza
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2022
“Flattering, with ripe, minty blackberries, black plums, tobacco, hazelnuts and a hint of mocha. A full-bodied, tightly wound red with powerful but creamy tannins that will need a year or two to soften more. Long, creamy finish. Drink after 2023.”

2019 Vall Llach Porrera Vi de Vila
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, October 2022
“A harmonious red, with notes of black raspberry puree, dried thyme and violet, iron and anise showing good expression but also good restraint. Silky tannins are seamlessly knit, emerging to firm the fresh, lingering finish. Carignan and Garnacha. Drink now through 2029. 150 cases imported.”
