This modern red shows firm structure and alluring oak, which frame fresh blackberry and black cherry fruit. A bit light on the midpalate, but focused and clean. Drink now through 2009. 3,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

Stout and generally quite pure, with aromas of leather and berries that thicken and gather density with airing. The palate is your standard new-age blend of dark cherry and raspberry, while the finish is oaky, warm and spicy. Very nice, if a touch jammy and simple.——M.S.(9/1/2007)—— 88
