2019 was a potent, concentrated, juicy vintage, yet with a sensual and unctuous side too.
Wine Enthusiast

Wine Enthusiast Aromas of black cherry, rose petal and anisette prep the taste buds for black cherry, cassis, cocoa bean, clove and lavender flavors. Plush tannins take hold of the palate and drift into a candied orange finish.

2020 was drier than average until the harvest, when it rained and diluted the grapes, and they had to wait to regain concentration. The result is that the 2020 Alión is a wine with better balance and freshness. They felt the skins were very ripe and they could extract more and use a little more American oak (4%) in the élevage. From 2019, they kept the press wine separate until June, and they keep separate quantities of press wines that are aged in different containers depending on the quality of the wine. They used a percentage of concrete and oak vats for the élevage, which gives the wine more verticality and freshness. It's a subtle and elegant Alión, not as dense as some other vintages, but with nice balance and very elegant tannins. In 2020, they produced 285,485 bottles of this wine, 7,115 magnums and some larger formats. It was bottled in May 2022.

Wine Spectator
  • ws93

A graceful red, with a pure beam of creme de cassis gliding across the plush palate, accented by notes of sassafrass, pomegranate, tar-tinged smoke and dried sage. This is well-tailored, offering fine-grained, sculpted tannins that provide form, plus pretty hints of violet and spices that linger on the lush finish. Drink now through 2034. 25,185 cases made, 1,756 cases imported.
