The nose here is brilliantly red fruited, with layer upon layer of subtle spice, bright floral notes, herbs, and stone. Its not all poetry and pageantry, though, and the first impression of the wine was simply, “oh that’s goooood.” A fair assessment, and sometimes that it all one requires. Further tastes show fine tannin throughout, a juicy, vibrant mouthfeel that is very likeable, and deft, long-developing layers of fruit that reveal themselves severally.
Patton Valley's flagship wine, The Estate is the most comprehensive expression of their vineyard site, and the wine that truly defines their place in a given vintage.
Review:
"Glistening red. Vibrant red fruit, floral and spice scents show very good clarity that picks up subtle hints of succulent herbs and smoky minerals with air. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, the 2017 offers gently sweet cherry raspberry and rose pastille flavors and a touch of spicecake. Smooth, well-integrated tannins make a late appearance on a long, floral-tinged finish that shows no rough edges.

Pago de las Capellanes Blanco O Luar Do Sil Godello Sobre Lias is made from 100% Godello.
Giving voice to Godello vines, to the geology of granite and to the fullness of sensations. This is our vision and we achieve it with careful winemaking on lees, so that the wine’s own matter provides balance and floral complexity, so that it shapes a fine and vigorous structure, a stimulating delicacy.
The wine pays homage to its landscape, clean, fruity aromas that caress the mineral cold. Leading us along small paths among white flowers, Godello Sobre Lías reveals light, truth and life.
