89 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2008

($10; 60% monastrell, 30% garnacha and 10% syrah, fermented entirely in stainless steel) Vivid ruby. Pinot-like red berries and cherry on the nose, with peppery spices and floral nuances adding interest. Fleshier cherry and dark berry flavors are smooth and sweet, with no obvious tannins. Gentle raspberry and blackberry notes echo on the surprisingly persistent finish. This is an outrageous bargain.
