This wine has an intensely brilliant red cherry color with purplish tints at edge. To the nose it is very direct, with a pleasant balance of wood and fruit, in which can be found lactic tones as well as notes of vanilla, ripened fruit, berries and plums. Also present are aromas of leather and licorice created from the combination of fine French oak and the aromas of the grape varieties. In the mouth the texture is smooth. The wine fills the palate with balanced flavors, which echo the aromas. Also present are fine tannins that will contribute to extended aging. The taste and aftertastes are long lasting and elegant.
This classy Tempranillo/Cabernet blend is a fine example of why the world has been buying so much Spanish wine over the last few years. Deep purple in color with plums, berries and notes of mocha and anise on the nose; you’ll taste plenty of dark berry fruit, coffee and dark chocolate. Whether you like new or old world wines, you can’t help but enjoy wines like this.
-Victor Arzola, Southern California General Manager.

Seamless and seductive. Blueberry, blackberry, cocoa and coffee flavors mingle in this elegant red. Firm, focused and fresh, with its harmony disguising impressive concentration. Drink now through 2016.
Score: 93.
