"Biscuit-like aromas with grilled nuts and chocolate oak-influence, across ripe dark berries. The palate has a very succulent, sweet-fruit core with plenty of ripe mulberries and plums. Supple tannins. Drink or hold."

"This deep ruby-colored wine has an enticing bouquet of blackberry, creosote and pine needle. The nice mix of fruit and savory flavors includes black cherry, cassis, dried Mediterranean herbs, eucalyptus and black olive alongside vigorous tannins that linger on the palate. — Mike DeSimone"

"Aged in American oak for just over eight months, notes of balsamic, sweet tobacco, juicy plum, and baking spices make for a compelling Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo). The wine’s elegance shows through a burst of pomegranate and white pepper with chalky tannins backing up the finish."

"Big, rich, ripe nose. Broad on the palate showing dark red fruit on a sauve, nicely concentrated palate. Persistent, rich finish. - Don WINKLER"

"The color of blueberry preserves, this wine offers a bouquet of blackberry, coffee bean and dried thyme. Coffee transitions to the palate as well, joined by cassis, purple plum, black olive paste, orange zest and cocoa butter flavors, wrapped in a cocoon of velvety tannins that drift into a lasting mocha-scented finish. - Mike DeSimone"
