Blueberry and black plum flavors are enriched by mountain herbs and licorice in this red. It's lush on the palate, yet firm tannins give it backbone and oak adds a subtle spicy note.

Brand new on the market is this blend of Garnacha, Carinena, Cabernet and Syrah, all planted only in 1999. And you know what? It’s pretty solid, with a bright garnet color and toasty aromas. Where it shows its pedigree, or lack thereof, is in the middle, where it’s lean and zesty as opposed to meaty and deep. Falls off after extended time in the glass. Imported by Jorge Ordonez/Fine Estates from Spain. ——M.S.(10/1/2005)—— 85
