•Review: "88 points – Stephen Tanzer
Dark purple. Zesty, youthfully medicinal aromas of dark berries, licorice and cracked pepper. Juicy and fresh, with smooth texture and sweet cherry and spice flavors framed by dusty tannins. Finishes with a suggestion of slightly roasted fruits and good clinging persistence. Delivers a lot of power and richness for the money." - Vintage Cellar
•This was a very well balanced wine and one of the better Tempranillos that I've had. I got a lot of cherry on the nose and artificial cherry on the palate. There was a certain astringency to it that I would have liked toned back. Maybe if it were paired with a creamy cheese it would cut it back a bit. The non-filtered aspect was interesting but not my favorite. I like non filtered better in beers.
