  October 26, 2018 - Dark to medium purple with slight garnet. Dark cherry and spice on the nose. Palate is pepper cherry and slightly oak. Good acid and minimal fine tannins with a long finish.

  April 3, 2016 - Spanish to the bone; deep clear raspberry color; a nose a wood with a bit of funk; light to medium bodied, silky mouthfeel; dark leather and blackcurrant, wood and graphite; dry but not astringent; lingering dried currants

  January 10, 2016 - This could be a really good wine if it weren't for the oak. So much oak. So much that it seemed like it could have been a flawed bottle, what with abounding aromas and flavours of cork and new wood, along with background mustiness. There's real freshness here, though, with blackberry, raspberry, and cherry riding a wave of tangy acidity (surprisingly vibrant for Garnacha), rich but cleansing, backed by light vanilla and vague herbal and spicy notes. But the woody oak is just too much, all in all, and by the second day the fruit thins out, leaving a bit more pepper on the palate, the flavours shorten, and a certain funkiness takes over both the aroma and the (quite dry) finish. This is Garnacha that should have been left well enough alone.

  December 2, 2015 - Jam, pepper, and bramble on the nose and palate. Big hit up front that fades quickly. Abrupt finish. A quaffable crowd pleaser.
