Jammy off the bat, with pickle, herbal aromas and other wild, untamed scents. The palate is extremely sweet and candied, with a modest cloying grab and a light burn. Besides candied, gummy red-fruit flavors, there isn’t much left.——M.S.(11/1/2008)—— 82

A cool quality runs through the dark-fruit bouquet, which has notes of leather and earth in reserve. The palate is forward and fruity, and it settles on the finish with a touch of plushness and a little chocolate flavor. Straightforward, and with some depth. This is a nice Argentine Tempranillo that happens to be organic.——M.S.(2/1/2008)—— 87
