Attractive berry and plum aromas come with dry spice, light toast and a hint of char and minerality. Lively and pure in the mouth, with good acidity pushing cassis, raspberry, light herb and spice flavors. Fresh and becoming more toasty on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Merlot that’ll be best from 2014 through 2020. ——M.S.(11/1/2011)—— 92

Not a great Zemis. It’s woody, lemony and doesn’t have the flesh, depth or complexity that we’ve seen before. The oak is heavy and the resulting coffee, burnt toast and charred aromas and flavors are a little too much. 250 cases made.——M.S.(12/15/2007)—— 85

Toasty oak frames ripe black fruit flavors in this concentrated but graceful red. Mineral and floral notes add complexity, and the fruit lingers on the long, clean finish. A successful example of the international style. Drink now through 2010. 250 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Penedès Select to Add
