Trying this on the advice of a friend. I had the 2009 vintage and it was dry, not complex, generally smooth and didn't hang on the palate for long. I tasted subtle hints of cherry and a bit of smokiness. It paired well with the beef stew and almond roasted fresh green beans. — 8 years ago

I am really enjoying this cab blend. So well balanced with about 1/2 cab, 30% garnacha and the balance samso. So nice to be able to enjoy the harmony with a reasonable 14.5% alcohol level. Don’t get me wrong, I like massive cabs too but not every time I pop a cork. My sincere appreciation to Will Burkholder for introducing this Spanish beauty to me!! — 7 years ago

On the nose is blueberry, plum and dark berries and dark cherry. On the palate medium body, soft tannins, and currant which fades into a very long, nice blueberry finish. — 10 years ago
