Excellent. Now we are talkin Pinot with character. Unfiltered goodness of blackberry on palette / blueberry earth floor rustic nose. I'm intrigued, will buy more — 10 years ago
Perfect with a mixed brunch. Pale yellow-green. Aromas of Asian pear, spicy, orchard fruits. Wonderfully weighty, ripe fruit. — 11 years ago
Drank this at Vino Veritas with John King and Emma on 11/12/18. Not as tannin-y as most Tempranillo wines. Very good! — 7 years ago

Last bottle, tasting one year since last pour. Pale yellow with golden tinge, excellent clarity. Sulfur and tropical fruit aroma. Semi-dry, soft, slight spritz on finish. Floral, peach and tropical fruit (guava) flavors, bright crisp acidity, excellent with food. Aging well, solid choice. Minor skin astringency in finish, aftertaste. — 7 years ago
Excellent complex Tempranillo with nice touch of wood. This is Tempranillo typical of SPAIN. Impossible to distinguish from a 90+ Spanish Ribera del Duero. — 8 years ago
Had at dinner with both parental units & Manzas. Worked well as an after dinner wine, as it was sweeter, but not too sweet. — 10 years ago
Seriously delish, table 2 at Price Crush Sunday, great discount — 10 years ago

Retasting eight months later, my last bottle. Ruby red, very good clarity. Black currant and red berry fruit leather notes in nose. Blackberry and cherry flavors initially. Mild skin astringency in finish, with white pepper emerging after 15 minutes. Black currant, plum, mint and a touch of cola and earthiness emerge an hour after opening. Complex flavor profile. Chewy tannins too emerge, so best decant a couple of hours. A little more acidic brightness wouldn’t hurt though. Maybe Tempranillo can be a Pacific Northwest thing... — 7 years ago
