This is quite a fruity wine on the nose with lovely notes of bitter cherry jam, graham cracker, rosemary and nutmeg. It has a bit French oak, which is not out of balance. On entry this is roundish with a nice feel to it that quickly leads to the mid-palate where the extracted quality of the wine becomes obvious. This is fairly dense, and quite polished with black fruit tones and some bitter tannin that clips the finish and leaves some alcoholic burn for the finale. A wine that shows some promise but lacks typicity. 86pts

Cherry cola aromas. Spice and red fruit, mostly raspberries and cranberries, some oak but it's not overpowering.

Spicy, with dark berries on the nose, some italian herbs feat. rosemary, the mouth is sharp, sweet, everything seems a little bit closed. I like the basic aromas and flavors though.

Lots of dark fruit and a bit of funk on the nose. Dark black cherry in the mouth with a low wide grainy mouthfeel. Medium tannins and a slow rumbly slightly chalky finish. Nice stuff.

dark purplish young-looking wine. light to medium body and tannic structure, medium acid. kind of hot on the nose, heavily grapeskin-y, some barely there dry earth. needs to go with something fatty.

Winemaker's Notes:

89 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): The crimson-colored 2006 Crianza gives up aromas of cedar, tobacco, violets and black cherry. Forward, supple-textured, and easy-going on the palate, it is meant for drinking over the next 5-6 years. It is an excellent value. (Apr 2010) Tempranillo 95%, Garnacha 5%.
