Had this at Rosemount Wine Club. Not able to pay as much attention as I wished. Still nicely done. Juicy red/black fruits with beautiful acidity. Mid-weight. Mild tannins. Nice finish.

Translucent garnet. Open for > 1 hr. Almost sour black cherry aromas dominate with hint of bark and earth. Juicy black cherries, earth, birch beer, with nice tannins rising in midpalate to nice balanced and lingering finish. 15.5% abv but can't taste it. Juicy but not over the top. Nicely done.

Balanced, structured and youthful, the 2010 Navaherrerors delivers a really nice Grenache fruit. The palate is nicely balanced too, but offers some rather vivid tannins. The mid palate is rather thin and the length on the finish lasts some 35 seconds. A very nice effort well worth trying out if given the chance.

Super tight, am still decanting. Dark cherry and peppers good acid balance consistent long finish. Server says it opens up very well after two days so we will see! Wonderful dark color

Ripe red fruit with a core of iron. Some flowery, leafy aromas of old granacha vines as well. Nice because there is more to it than just its very rich red fruit character.

Decanted 1.5 hours and paired with spicy stuffed chicken red bell peppers, rice, cheese, and Mediterranean salad. Medium to light-bodied with cherry violet color. Pretty disappointed in this wine; it's still a chalk monster even after a good decant. Licorice and meaty game on the nose, green, ripe cherries on the mid-palate, and a rough, dusty fnish. The wine tasted thin to me. Try after 2015.

Medium cherry red color; tart red berry, stems, ripe berry, cherry nose; surprisingly restrained given the alcohol level, tart cherry, ripe red berry, mineral palate with firm stem tannins; needs 2 years; medium-plus finish (15.5% alcohol)
