90 Points & Editors’ Choice from Wine Enthusiast for Super Tinto!

by: Virginia Valdez Sandfer

 

 

Wine Enthusiast calls the Tinto Rey 2015 Super Tinto Red Blend “big and bold … yet easy to drink … with oodles of black fruit aromas” in the December 2018 Buying Guide. We are pleased to add this 90 to  the “oodles ” of 90 point scores received this year.

Read the Full Review:

90 Tinto Rey 2015 Super Tinto Red Blend (Dun­nigan Hills). This wine is big and bold yet still easy to drink. It has oodles of black fruit aromas, dense fruit flavors and generous dashes of spicy, smoky oak. The texture is firm enough to offer balance, yet is silky enough to remain enjoyable.
Editors’ Choice. —J.G.

Matchbook Chardonnay Named Best Chardonnay Under $17 by Tasting Panel Magazine

by: Virginia Valdez Sandfer

From Tasting Panel Magazine | July 2018

“After tasting more than 75 Chardonnays over the past several months, our team battened down the hatches to choose our ten best from the bunch. While there were many fine competitors, these wines stood out for taste, character, mouthfeel, balance and all the other important attributes that make a wine noteworthy. These wines work hard for the retailer and the restaurateur by offering outstanding value for customers in this competitive, high-volume segment. These ratings are based on scores within this tasting group of wines.

Matchbook 2016 Old Head Chardonnay, Dunnigan Hills($15)

Aged six months in previously used barrels, this golden straw– colored wine carries a toasted aroma with a smooth, buttery mouthfeel full of creamy fruit, almond paste, and melon preceding a long finish with a bit ofminerality. 92
