...Not going to become my go-to cava, but could be my go-to Champagne replacement, so rating is as I would if I happened to miraculously find such a drinkable champagne in that price range.

Blanc de Noirs by Sumarroca (2016) - 4 ā
Green apple, red apple, some chalk, some brioche but not much (mostly shows up if itās not too cold). Pastry, like filo.

Candied plums, candied cherries, black cherries, herbs, barn, maraschino cherries. Garnet-colored. Perfect for a particular vitello tonnato.

Tras la Yesca by Rodriguez y Sanzo (2023) - 3½ ā
Coffee, violets, black cherries, black currant, licorise. 12 months in new oak barrels, and it shows. 3.5, but proper subtle for a Toro, truth be told. I may re-evaluate it.

De Chiripa by Valderiz (2023) - 3½ ā
Pepper, sandalwood, black currant, vanilla, some licorice. Chorizo after some air (and when it was sitting besides steak). Lots of licorice later....

...Great for chorizos, grilled chistorras, and other heart-attack-y stuff. It would likely work with out homemade kebab.
Value and the right pairing buy it an extra half star.

Pepper, blood, cherry, wet wood, something fresh and minty I canāt place. You wouldnāt think itās 14.5% if it werenāt for how it crawls down the glass....

CaĆƱo by ViƱa Moraima S. Coop. Galega (2022) - 3 ā
Cherry, wood, raspberries. Juicy, with lots of acidity ā it strikes me as a summer wine. It's drinkable, but the rest of the bottle went into a reduction.
