Starts out round and red fruited before turning more herbal and raw with air. The palate is thick and rugged, with green-inflected strawberry and raspberry flavors. Quick, minty tasting and gritty on the finish. ——M.S.(11/1/2011)—— 85

Hot berry fruit, spice and a tame vinegar note define the nose on this simple, somewhat soft and wanting wine from Southeast Spain. The palate is chunky with plum, pepper and herbal flavors. The finish is herbal, too. Adequate but without much elegance or finesse.——M.S.(11/1/2010)—— 83
