2017 Alheit Vineyards Cinsault Flotsam & Jetsam

South Africa, Coastal Region, Darling

“100% Cinsault made from dry farmed, bushvine parcels (4 plots granite, 1 plot shale) with an ave age of around 40 yrs. The Cinsault is picked relatively early. The grapes are 100% whole cluster fermented & spend 2 - 3 wks on skins before pressing, with very gentle extraction work, if any. [This philosophy accounts for the wines being quite ‘light & bright.’ Over-ripe & over-extracted Cinsault can be lead-footed & syrupy.] Matured in cement tanks for 9 mos.; 12.5% ABV, 1.7 g/L R.S., 4.1 g/L T.A., & 3.88 pH;”

N: Flowers with a minerally/earthy veneer to the spicy, berry frt; Intensity lurking?

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by a bit of astringent pucker which somewhat resolves by the LONG, balanced finish with a tangy/swtness & OCCASIONAL glimpse of a very, VERY slight bitterness to the firming, dusty tannins. DESERVES/needs through '20, then drinking into '24? Nicely done. My EXC-; 92 pts Tim Atkin (1/1/18), 89 WE (Buzzeo, 3/1/19) @ $15, & 16/20 Jancis Robinson (Harding, 2/11/19). [This vendor's $19.95 is $1 < wine-searcher's lowest.]

Note: 1st tasted on 1/18/20. Also, for whatever reason, didn't show as well as I might have expected when we had the remaining bit @ home with dinner. [FYI, @ that juncture it had been in the uncorked bottle ≈ 7+ hrs.]

NV Blandy's Madeira Malmsey 10 Years Old

Portugal, Madeira

Danny, you were MOST generous to allow me to retaste this! :)

"The Malmsey or Malvasia grape is found predominately in the region of São Jorge on the N of the island where the family has long standing relationships with over 26 farmers. Blandy's 10 yr old Malmsey undergoes pelicular maceration followed by fermentation with natural yeast at temps between 18°C - 21°C in temp controlled tanks. After approximately 48 hrs, fortification with vinic alcohol takes place, arresting fermentation at the desired degree of sweetness.

"Blandy’s 10 yr old Malmsey a blend of wines with an ave of 10 yrs in seasoned AM oak casks. The wines were aged at the family’s Lodge in Funchal in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the wine is gradually transferred from the higher floors where the temps are higher, to the middle floors, & eventually to the ground floor where temps are cooler. The process of transferring the barrels is absolutely critical to ensure the right balance of ullage & concentration. All through the ageing process, the primary fruit flavours of the wine are gently transformed into tertiary dried fruit notes that produce unique Madeira hallmark bouquet.

"This wine was regularly racked during this ageing process & was fined before bottling [apparently in 2016]. 19% ABV, 123 g/l R.S., 6.50 g/l T.A., & 4.9 Baumé."

N: Clsd; Plums, earth, spice, with hints of orange rind?

P: Med, poss MF, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, SWTISH frt nicely counterbalanced by acidity befittingly counterbalanced by acidity. The finish is LONG & with a delightful tangy/swt balance. My EXC-/EXC; 91 pts RJonWine (10/8/16). [This vendor's $23.95 is as good as anyone on wine-searcher for the 500ml bottling.]
