A better wine than the label’s varietal Garnacha, so it seems as though the Tempranillo brings character and elevation. Wild berry and cherry aromas mix in citrus and spice, while the palate is fruity, with pepper and soft spice flavors. Turns a touch tart and toward cranberry the longer it’s open.——M.S.(8/1/2010)—— 85

Peppery and tough smelling, with tomato-leaf aromas. This is a bland, innocuous wine with a touch of berry sweetness on the midpalate but no complexity or follow through.——M.S.(11/1/2007)—— 81
