90 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2012

(50% carinena, 30% garnacha and 20% syrah, fermented in stainless steel and then aged for four months in French and American oak):  Bright violet color.  Musky blueberry, cassis and lavender on the nose, with complicating mineral and white pepper nuances.  Supple, sweet and smooth, with very good energy and lift to its dark fruit and spice flavors.  Finishes with supple tannins and bright, tangy persistence.
