If you can handle the large-quantity characteristics that govern this wine, particularly olive, herbal notes and vegetal aromas and flavors, then it’s pretty nice. For those opposed to traditional Bordeaux-style green notes, it’s probably better to upgrade to Santa Rita’s richer, riper Medalla Real. Good on the whole but not great; yet at 150,000 cases it’s hard to expect better.——M.S.(9/1/2007)—— 85
