Took a flyer buying this from Benchmark. Bottle was in perfect condition, but sadly past its peak. Nose was outstanding - huge - chocolate, spice box. Had lost any acidity to balance the huge fruit. And at 17%, it kicked our ass. Would love to try a slightly younger rendition. — 9 months ago

Fresh fruit and upcoming rain on the nose are always a good sign. Mature berries dance on the palate and are followed by a long, silky, mature finish.

Best Spanish red I’ve had in a while. Mencia (or Juan in Portugal) great cab franc substitute. — 5 years ago

Expressive nose of dark cherries, blackberries, clove, strawberry, a hint of caramel, well integrated oak. In the mouth the tannins are still harsh, thinner Ribera (this is Soria, they filmed Dr Zhivago here). Drunk too young (the story of my life) — 7 months ago
Always fine. The blood, iron like hint of Mencía, very mineral, fine red fruit and great acid — 9 months ago
This wine is super light but still flavorful and pairs well with food but also so good on its own. It’s so good, it’s hard not to chug it when you crack a bottle on a warm sunny day. — 2 years ago

Very dry and clean. Minerals, light florals, grapefruit. Excellent pair to smoked trout. — 4 years ago
For 10 bucks?! Are ya kidding? Great swill for that price or more. Found at Bar & Garden (DTX) so you know it’s also organic. — 6 years ago

Это бомба. Купаж 2003 Каберне, Шираза и Пти вердо плюс 15"алкоголя дали фантастический рубиновый цвет и вкус спелой смородины. Божественно. Одна из моих высших оценок. — 8 years ago

Mooie frisse wijn. Was ook fantastisch bij de kreeft met gruyère, kaffir limoen en sambal — 6 months ago
