Wine Spectator Review:
This straightforward red offers black cherry and vanilla flavors framed by firm tannins, with a clean finish. Solid and satisfying. Drink now through 2008. 500 cases imported. –TM
Robert Parker Review:
This single vineyard, estate-bottled, unfiltered Rioja is given an unusual upbringing of one year in tank followed by two years in French and American oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Its dense ruby/purple hue is accompanied by sweet aromas of cherries, currants, licorice, and smoky oak. A supple texture is somewhat deceiving as there is plenty of tannin beneath the wine’s full-bodied richness and intensity. Beautiful purity and overall harmony suggest a balanced and long life. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. -RP
