Very delicious. Easy to drink plum dark berries but not too deep and not a lot of tannins. Got at Marcel's in Glen Ellyn — 7 years ago
A good association of Merlot and Tempranillo. — 10 years ago

Beautiful bottling from Pinuaga (their Gran Reserva offering: single vineyard, old vines, ancient clone of Tempranillo). In a perfect spot with nine years of age. Lots of sun baked red fruit, cola, figs, bbq sauce, hot stones and more on the complex nose. Lengthy finish of black licorice and mint. Really excellent for the $25 I paid a few years back. — 6 years ago
Spanish Sauvignon Blanc! Bright yellow in color; interesting, complex, zippy, lively on the tongue. Effervescent with citrus and earthy notes, at the same time with a deep buttery smoothness, almost like a Chardonnay. — 8 years ago

David Shaw’s review is spot on so I’m borrowing some language and descriptions. Ruby red and medium bodied. Wild strawberry, pomegranate, and cranberry. Tart with some black pepper on the finish. Paired well with duck breast. — 12 days ago
