•Review: "88 Points –
Stephen Tanzer
A blend
of 70% Garnacha Tintorera, a.k.a. Alicante Bouschet, and 30% Monastrell;
fermented in stainless steel, followed by four months in French oak. Bright purple. Cassis, blueberry, pungent herbs and mocha on
the nose. Smooth and open-knit on the
palate, displaying fresh cherry and dark berry qualities and a hint of black
pepper. Finishes with gripping tannins
and good length, leaving a subtle floral note behind." - Vintage Cellar
•Very dry red wine. It had a cherry red mouth feel which was very tannic going down. I would have preferred this with a nice bold cheese. Decent for the price.
