91 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010
($20; a blend of garnacha, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah) Bright ruby-red. More aromatic than the Porrera, with scents of redcurrant, raspberry and spicecake and a suave rose note. A spicy, penetrating midweight that offers sweet red and dark berry flavors and strong mineral spine. Fine-grained tannins add grip and shape to a long, juicy finish. I prefer this wine's extroverted, perfumed personality to that of the denser Porrera, but I bet the earlier wine will age longer, not that it matters, since this one is delicious now.
