Bierzo is a two-part wine producing region in Spain. Bierzo Alto
translates to high Bierzo, which reflects that mountains of the region. Wine
here is grown within the slopes. Bierzo Bajo means low Bierzo for the vast
plain of the area.
A rich history dates back to Romans who successfully mined
the earth in Bierzo for gold. The climate in Bierzo is largely due to the
nearby Atlantic Ocean. It is cooler in Bierzo than in Castilla y Leon, but
overall maintains an average temperature for the area. Local grapes produced in
Bierzo are Mencia and Garnacha, but also Dona Blanca, Godello, and Palomino.
Crianza wines from the region must be aged for two years, with six months in
oak barrels and Reserva wines must have twenty four months in bottle and 12
months in Oak barrells. The soil in Bierzo contains slate and granite,
which allows the vines grown here to produce mineral characters in the wine.
Bierzo also produces wine that has lower alcohol than other nearby regions.

Paul Hobbs Chardonnay Russian River Valley is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Crafted with precision from six pedigreed sites comes a wine that beams with pale straw hue. The newest vintage brings wonderful aromatic intensity: candied lemon peel, white florals followed by crisp green apple. A creamy and viscous texture on the palate is buoyed by white nectarine and dried apricot that’s balanced with a vibrant acidity, bringing focus to the wine’s finish that lingers with hints of flinty mineral notes.
Review:
Layered and well-concentrated, this impressive wine stacks up cream, butter, toasted almonds and poached pears for a lavish palate that's also nicely grounded in appley acidity. It will be eye-opening during cocktail hour and even better paired with fish and shellfish.

Salvaterra Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is made from 65% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella, 5% Oseleta.
Perfume of cherries, cocoa, tobacco and black pepper. On the palate it is complex and deep, elegant and robust at the same time, harmonious and with an excellent tannin.
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is "the essence of the territory", structured but also fresh at the same time.
Pairs with red meats, aged cheese, dark chocolate, cigars.
Review:
Abundant lively red cherries, plums and mellow milk choolate with a energetic and powerful structure, an elegant frame of velvety tannins and an attractive balsamic finish.
