AGRAMONT GRAN RESERVA 2015 DO Navarra, Spain 44663 (XD) 750 ml $22.95 2 Made with Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a bouquet of black currant, pomegranate, baking spice and coffee. A web of silky tannins encases flavors of black cherry, blackberry preserves, milk chocolate, aniseed, marjoram and lavender that endure into a pleasing finish. Score: 93 (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast , Dec. 31, 2023) Medium-bodied & Fruity Featured in Age Before Beauty New at Vintages ARBOLEDA CARMENÈRE 2022 DO Valle del Aconcagua, Chile 46284 (XD) 750 ml $18.95 2 The Las Vertientes Vineyard is a sort of mini-valley flanked by mountains of the Coastal Mountain Range, in the Aconcagua Valley, some 30 kilometers from the sea. Red fruits dominate but are accompanied by spices and the variety’s typical classic herbal notes. The fine texture is composed of firm, sharp tannins, the acidity is juicy, and on the finish, it is the herbs’ turn to dominate. Score: 93 (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2025)
