What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
This wine opens with crusty berry aromas before shifting to cola, lemon peel and licorice. Tight and structured on the palate, with cherry, plum, vanilla and spice flavors. Harmonious and smooth; integrated and just rich enough. Editor’s Choice. Top 100 Wines of 2011, #18.— M.S.

What We Thought: Done in a decidedly new world style this rich Tempranillo has none of the leathery tannins I associate with old world Rioja. This lush, full-bodied wine is filled with smooth blackberry and black cherry fruit and supported by supple, lightly dusty tannins that promise some short term improvement in the cellar.
