| Tasting Notes & Comments |
tight floral notes dominating the blackberry fruit and a tart acidic finish. In fact, it's quite closed, which may be an indication that it's got years ahead of it, or that it simply lacks the flashy fruit I would have expected. Not a bad match for food, but not altogether pleasing as a standalone beverage. - 10/13/2007

100% Tempranillo. Ripe cherry, blackberry and plum aromas followed by a hint of tabacco and fresh roasted coffee. Good balance and soft tannins. - 10/13/2007

Needed about 30 minutes to open up. It was aged for 12 months in new and used French and American oak. Dark ruby in color, it offers up attractive fruity aromas of plums, blueberry, and licorice with smoky, toasty notes in the background. This is followed by a lush, medium to full-bodied wine with a supple texture, ripe fruit, and good flavors in an easy-drinking, user-friendly style. Drink this hedonistic effort over the next 2-3 years. It is a very good value. - 10/13/2007
