‘Esencia del Sur’ extra virgin olive oil
$10.00

The 100% Spanish, ''Esencia del Sur'' Extra Virgen Olive Oil is a finest product of the south region of Spain – Andalusia. From the organoleptic point of view, this olive oil tends towards greenish and green-yellowish tones that are easily recognizable. Its odor is usually defined as fruity, fresh and fragrant, while its taste is noted for its distinctive bitterness, with an intense flavor of natural olive, leaving a prolonged aftertaste in the mouth. Esencia del Sur extra virgin olive oils has a high content of monounsaturated oleic acid, and with a high proportion of antioxidants. The oil is 100% Picual (type of olive) variety, which is a fundamental fact for the organoleptic and sensorial characteristics of the oil.

Concentrated aromas of lilac and black currant show on the nose of this buccaneer-themed red blend. The full-flavored palate packs a blackberry jam flavor alongside thyme, oregano and wild mint, with more purple flowers lingering on the finish.

The 2015 Aalto is a gorgeous wine, and even at the retail price of $50, is a value. Loaded with notions of blackberry and cassis fruits, vanilla, graphite, and high-class oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, has beautiful concentration, and ripe, polished tannin. It certainly has a modern slant, yet is balanced, has terrific purity, and a great finish. Give it a few years. WBC R20-1

Not far off the more limited production cuvée, the 2016 Aalto is another brilliant wine from this estate and is all Tempranillo brought up in 50% new oak. This ripe, sexy wine delivers loads of crème de cassis, vanilla, dried flowers, and spice box notes, with just a hint of background oak. Pure, incredibly well balanced, with sweet tannins, and medium to full body, it’s going to benefit from a year or two in bottle and keep for 15 to 20 years. WBC

Aalto 2017 Red Ribera del Duero
$49.99–$480.00

Ribera del Duero Spain
Wine Spectator 94 Rating
The 2017 Aalto was a surprise for the vintage. They had to select the grapes from their own vineyards, and they produced less wine. It feels a little lighter and fresher, more approachable at this point in time. The oak also seems to be more integrated. It's a very drinkable Aalto in its style. They only used some 20% new oak and possibly did a softer vinification. It's approachable now, but it should also develop nicely in bottle, as the year had more acidity.

This is a stunning Ribera that shows a plethora of finely judged mulberries, blackberries, oyster shell, rust, iron, citrus, vanilla, undergrowth and licorice. Full-bodied and powerful with muscular tannins, but a wealth of dark fruit. Long and chewy on the finish. Drink in 2025.
