Comments
Consistently one of my all time favorite values, this big, beefy Mourvedre from southeastern Spain is certain to please!

"Inky violet. Deep cherry and cassis aromas complicated by an array of floral, mineral and herbal nuances. Powerful dark fruit flavors are firmed by solid tannins and lifted by gentle minerality. Picks up smoked meat and anise notes on the long, chewy finish. This could be a Bandol. Is the average buyer at this price point ready for this? Another amazing value." 90 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar(Sept/Oct 2007)

90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (No tasting note was given) (Feb. 2008)
