Blended by the legendary Arsenio Ramos and made with tobaccos grown in the Jalapa Valley, Aganorsa Leaf portrays all the best features this rich region of Nicaragua has to offer. A solid core of coffee leads the way from the initial light that’s followed up with touches of cream and hints of spice. A perfectly balanced cigar that’s box-pressed and presented in a 15 count box, this new blend from Casa Fernandez is sure to please the palate.

"With its broad array of origins and clones, this wine displays red aromas (candied cherry, pomegranate and raspberry) on the nose and the palate. In addition, one finds a light touch of brown spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice). True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polished tannins. Pair it with salmon or ahi, veal or pork, poultry (think duck) or beef, or hearty vegetarian entrees"

"Rich baked pear, orange marmalade, and spice aromas. A supple entry leads to a round, dryish medium body of dried fruits, dusty brown spices, and light toffee flavors. Finishes with pleasant anise and nuts flavors amid the wood spices and minerals. A balanced, elegant style."

"The 2010 Chardonnay Vintner’s Reserve wraps around the palate with layers of expressive fruit. Butterscotch, spices, flowers and hazelnuts add complexity. This is another fabulous value. The entire 2,000,000 case production is made from estate-owned vineyards, which is simply mind-boggling to contemplate. Frequent lees-stirring and aging in French oak barrels impart a level of textural richness that is uncommon for a wine in this price range."

"Rich and muscular, with exotic roasted spice and blueberry notes followed by racy graphite and espresso. The ripe finish of chocolate and spice is well proportioned."

"Nice color, sweet smell with solid apple/sugar mix....Very smooth, no aftertaste....
