Briary red-fruit aromas are forward and attractive. Feels juicy, with good acidic cut and ample body. Flavors of dark plum and berry come with hints of crushed herbs and dry spices. Finishes bold, with peppery spice and a pinch of heat. — (10/1/2012) —87

Spunky raspberry aromas give this Tempranillo-led blend a fresh bouquet. The palate is snappy, a little high in acidity, and plenty zippy, with plum and cherry flavors. Finishes with length and some scour. Nice for everyday drinking; best with basic foods.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 86
