Closeout bottle for $9.99, I was buying this at $16.99 and was happy. Great Spanish every day drinker. 1st night was 86-87, 2nd night 89+. Extremely good QPR @ 9.99! Plummy with some cherries. Very smooth and together wine on the 2nd night... 1st night was a little jumbled and harsh but great with food. 2nd night all mellowed out and tasting great. Most wines don't make it to a 2nd night with my girlfriend and me, glad this one did. Would recommend. The Merlot and Tempranillo are great in this wine and the Syrah adds an extra depth to the wine.

Nose is smoky and woodsy; medium bodied, smooth, round plummy fruit, earthy and wrapped with more smoky oak; ample tannin and a slight bitterness on the finish.

Merlot 50% Tempranillo 35% Syrah 15% - 65% French oak, 35% American Oak for 7months Deep and dark as night. The nose is rich with w/pepper, minerals, dry nuts, and light tabbaco all followed by a mild earthiness. Rich in the mouth with fresh acidity and sweet firm tannins. Flavors of cherry, cranberry, deep dark cherry perserves, and mint. Interesting wine. 4/5
