- Dark raspberry in color showing a bright expressive nose of black cherry, black pepper and black licorice. Medium body in the mouth with good acidity and firm tannins that coat and cling to every inch of my mouth. On the palate, the wine is reserved showing a bit of cherry and leather. Pretty dimensional but a good wine.

- I give this a higher rating than it probably deserves compared to what the typical oenophile drinks. But for the price, it is one hell of a wine. Nice red fruits, but a dry, soft acidity. Terrific Spanish table red for just about any meat meal, or sitting around drinking.

- 100% Monastrell that spells much bigger than it tastes. Dried fruit taste. Dark in the glass. Excellent value.
- September 2008
- Dark and lush, with nice tannins and big fruit. Dark cherries and a bit of smoke. Medium long finish. Very tasty! Great price at under 10 bucks.

- Excellent example of the Monastrell grape in its early years. Intense aromas of black fruit (plums) and less ripe red fruit (cranberries, mulberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants). On the palate it is fruity and fresh, and alive with tannins which leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
