Natalie's Score: 87/100

Extremely tannic with blackened, charry fruit. In 2001, the Casado winemaking family started bottling wines under their own label after having sold grapes to other wineries for many years. Full-bodied. Pair with a rare steak.

Food pairings: roast pork, meatlover's pizza, bison burgers, roast duck.

Reviews and Ratings

Alvides 2012 is a 100% Tempranillo Crianza from the Ribera Del Duero Wine Region produced by the Casado family who have been growing wine grapes in that region for several decades. Look for bright red berry, spicy and savoury herb flavours on this full-bodied red. Enjoy it now with grilled fare. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
