Beautiful ruby in color with a light ruby rim. Doesn't seem to show aging at all.

Fruity nose of blueberries, cherries, unripe plums, oak, vanilla, licorice, strawberries, spices, chocolates, smoke, peppermint, red candy, light vegetables, coffee, bell pepper, tobacco, earth, pencil lead, peppercorn and leather.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry and tart on the palate with strawberries, raspberries, oak, licorice, spices, earth, leather, almonds, cherries, spices, bell pepper, tobacco, beef jerky and peppercorn.

Long finish with firm tannins, black pepper and tart cherries.

This 9 year old Spanish red is still young and needs another 2 to 4 years in the bottle, but drinks well now.

Very nice by itself, with nice complexity. A great wine with food, with a nice mouthfeel and bright acidity.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly. Robert Parker gave it 94 points. I Don't know about that...

A blend of 30% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume. — 10 years ago

Lots of spice and cedar on the nose. It is Christmas Eve/Eve, so allow me a little leeway! A very fruit forward, spicy, delicious Pinot Noir. I must say I am pleasantly surprised at how refined this wine is. Nice tannins integrated with brilliant acidity. I really like this wine. — 10 years ago

Big decision day for a possible new home in Denver.

Trying the restaurant Rioja.

This wine is 100% Bobal grapes. Not sure if I have ever had this wine before.

Blackberry, inky, dark.

Swirling the wine around and splashing it on myself. Whoops. — 10 years ago

deep, ripe and minty on the nose, with berry power foretelling a pure, lush palate that’s packed with berry flavors and light herbal shadings. Impressive and super tasty, especially given the price of $8 at Fresh Market. — 12 years ago
