Prieto Picudo
Filter
Prieto Picudo is a less common and unique red wine grape that is mainly grown in the Northern region of Leon in Spain. Prieto Picudo can be seen in blends with the Mencia grape. It can be compared to Tempranillo wines and is also a component in the production of Rose wines. The name “Prieto Picudo” is derived from the word “Prieto” which means “dark” in Spanish, and the word “Picudo” which means “pointed”. This is directly related to the small and compact bunches that are tapering at the bottom. The grape is sometimes referred to as a pine nut shape. Prieto Picudo produces a concentrated color and powerful aroma. It has moderate acid and tannin with mineral attributes and as well as notes of vanilla and toast. When produced as a Rose, it can give a fruity nose with notes of strawberry and raspberry. It can also give citrus tones like peach and sometimes flowers. It has excellent versatility in the bottle, with the capability to be consumed young, or allowed to age. Prieto Picudo pairs beautifully with seafood and pasta.

Intense ruby color of high layer with garnet edge, clean and shiny. Intense nose that, from the beginning, transmits complexity, penetrating, with aromas of black fruits, blueberries and currants, undergrowth, roasted memories, toffee, coffee powder, liquorice, cloves, vanilla and lebanese cedar. Mouth with freshness and balance, with tannins ripe and creamy, which highlight its elegance, with a step harmonious and intense. Long and pleasant aftertaste, with a great variety of balsamic and spicy memories.
Review:
The old-vine component of the El Otero parcel, running to around seven hectares, supplies the fruit for this ageworthy Tinto Fino. After a frost-induced break in 2017, it's back with interest in 2018. Aged in new French oak, but not dominated by the wood, it's a finely judged red from Julio Sáenz with notes of blackberry and tangerine, filigree tannins and a long, textured finish. 2023-33

In the far northwest corner of the Sonoma Coast appellation, near the town of Annapolis, the vineyard sits just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, and provides a poignant setting for producing pinot noir with elegance, great precision, and intensity.
Review:
The 2021 Pinot Noir Goldrock Estate is a deep, saturated ruby. Fresh aromas of wet rocks, black raspberry, and pressed flowers lift from the glass, with a touch of spice. Medium to full-bodied, it has good structure, with fresh acidity and notes of crunchy red cherry and fresh pine, as well as fine tannins. Its perfume lasts right through to its clean, lifted finish. This is a lovely wine to drink 2025-2040.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Goldrock Estate is deep, rich and explosive. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange, menthol, spice and rose petals are all amplified in this dramatic Sonoma Coast Pinot. The complexity and intensity here are simply unreal. Give this time, there's a lot of wine in the glass.
