Sherry from Jerez, Spain

Winemaker Notes
#77 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2016
Intensely rich pervading walnut aromas. The palate is dry, intense, rich and deepwith a long and powerful flavor.
Oloroso solera of extreme age, bottled in its natural state. Intense and silky on the palate yet completely dry. As all Hidalgo sherries, displays elegance and balance, and inimitable savor, from the low-pH fruit obtained in Hidalgo’s seaside vineyard estates.
Critical Acclaim

Wine Spectator 92
Intense, with roasted almond, Brazil nut and walnut notes lending this a slightly burly aspect, while gunpowder tea, bitter orange and almond accents add a taut feel through the finish. This is a distinctive, edgy version that Sherry geeks will dig.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 91
Aromatic with aromas of hazelnuts, walnuts, and raisins and a broad, dry flavor profile.

Hidalgo Alameda Cream Sherry (500ML)…$20
Sherry from Jerez, Spain

Winemaker Notes
A rich blend of Faraon Oloroso and sweet Triana Pedro Ximenez matured in a Solera System for a minimum of 8 years to create a rich sweet well-balanced wine.
Flattering date, candied ginger, steeped golden raisin and prune eau-de-vie notes meld together here, carrying through the sweet-edged and slightly heady finish. A hint of walnut hull peeks in at the very end.
Blend: 85% Palomino, 25% Pedro Ximenez
Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 91
The Alameda Cream is dark amber and medium sweet with creme brulee aromas and flavors, a far classier drink than what your grandmother used to imbibe.
