Raul Perez Ultreia Saint Jacques, Bierzo, Spain 2019 Case (6x750ml) Napa County chopped almondThe nose of the 2019 Ultreia Saint Jacques is nothing short of spectacular. It shows the varietal character and the juicy and round style of the Valtuille vineyards. It's harmonious, clean and expressive. They are using more and more stems with long macerations, malolactic in tanks and aging in 30% oak vats (he purchased from Alion) and 70% of the wine in used 225 liter oak barrels for one year. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
