TASTING NOTES:
90 Points - "The 2007 Can Blau is purple-colored with a nose of cedar, mineral, baking spices, blueberry, and black cherry. This leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of flavor, enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years, and a pure, fruit-filled finish. It will be at its peak from 2010 to 2018." Score: 90.

The vineyards, located at an elevation of 1,050 ft., are comprised of the famous chalky soil called Albariza and the 40-year-old vines are trained in the goblet system and yield 1.25 t/acre (3 t/ha). The grapes were hand-harvested on September 15th and dried on mats in the sun. Fermentation occurs in stainless-steel and is arrested by the light addition of wine spirits. It is then aged for 6 months in traditional American oak botas of 500l (133 gal.). Production: 300 cases for the U.S. Located in the town of Montilla, in the province of Cordoba, in the interior of Andalucia, Alvear S.A. was established by Don Diego de Alvear in 1729, and since that time has remained under control of the Alvear family. This is the oldest winery in the region and its fino is today one of the three most popular fino wines in Spain.
