Juan Carlos Sancha 2009 Ad Libitum Tempranillo Blanco (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Waxy peach aromas seem slightly oxidized. It’s round and citrusy on the palate, but in a monotone way that fades to pithy white fruits and mealy citrus. Shows some flashes of uniqueness and class; mostly it’s wayward and slightly bitter.

Juan Carlos Sancha 2008 Ad Libitum Maturana (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
All indigenous grapes are welcomed by our tasting panel, but sometimes they are unknown and little used for a reason. This wine, made from the local Maturana Tinta, is a green, mean, lean wine with herbal aromas and flavors that, let’s face it, are vegetal. Tastes tart and short, with a strong, driving green character throughout.

Juan Carlos Sancha 2010 Ad Libitum Tempranillo Blanco (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Smells briney and pickled, much like sauerkraut. The palate has an angular feel, choppy acidity and pickled flavors of apples and wheat. Briney to the max; not very appealing year after year.
