Lots of ripe-fruit and smoked-meat character with hints of cried cheese and spice. Some stems. Medium to full body. Rounded, juicy tannins and a fruity finish. Delicious now. (6/2019)
Vinos del Viento is the most recent Spanish addition to our Direct Import portfolio. It is a project that focuses on Garnacha and Cariñena (Grenache and Carignan) from the region that is the origin for both varieties, Aragon. All of the DOs of Aragon are represented in their lineup—Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Carinena and Somontano. Winemaker Michael Cooper, who is a native of California, looks for purity and freshness in his wine. To do so he has sought out older vineyards that are found at higher elevations. The youngest vines are 35 years old and the oldest are 99 and the lowest elevation in 1800 feet. These are wines for everyday, and priced accordingly—but they are not simple wines. While they are delicious (and if you are looking for no more than that these wines are hard to beat), if you want more than that the wines also speak of their varietals and regions with some depth and complexity. Named after the winds that temper the region’s warm climate, these wines are a bridge from the old world to the new, perfectly representing a Californian making Spanish wines.
