May 8, 2014 - Ruby garnet with medium viscosity in the glass. Nose of raspberry, cherry, clove, and mint. Medium body and structured with vibrant raspberry and cranberry fruit. Clove and mint carry nicely over from the nose. Touch of sweet oak and BBQ. Medium finish. Good QPR.

June 3, 2013 - Really fantastic on the first sip; a meaty, sumptuous juice, much bolder and thick than expected from a monastrell. However, it devolved quickly (for my taste) into a predominant raisin flavor. Personally, dont prefer the high alcohol %, but who the f cares what I think
