Really opens up nicely. Funny, the first aromas in my nose were sea coast/fishy- which made for a bit of trepidation on the first taste. The wine fully jolted me when I tasted it, though. Beautiful color-great with venison.

Deep purple in color (intense). Nose of barnyard, and red fruits with a hint of dark spices. Firm tannins and medium acid in the mouth. While flavors of big fruit, plum, cherry, blackberry, and smokey oak all mingle on the palate. Really a fun wine. 4/5 [NR]

The entry-level 2008 Salia is a blend of 50% Syrah, 38% Garnacha Tintorera, and 12% Garnacha Tinta that went through malolactic in barrel and was aged for 11 months in seasoned French and American oak prior to bottling without fining or filtration. Mineral, blueberry, black cherry, smoke, and floral notes form the nose of this dense, succulent, layered red. It has enough structure to evolve to 2ndash;3 years but can be approached now. It is an outstanding value that over-delivers in a big way.

Inky ruby. A complex bouquet offers red berries, cherry, rose and baking spices. There's a lively character here that reminds me a bit of ripe pinot noir. Juicy and open-knit, with gently sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and good spine. Finishes with gentle tannins and very good clarity, repeating the spicy note.

A spicy base of cedar and tobacco leaf is layered with subtle notes of damson plum, ripe black cherry and cassis in this supple red that's well-integrated and refined from start to the bresaola-tinged finish. Drink now through 2018.

Diese betörende Cuvée von kühler Stilistik beeindruckt mit seinem kräftigen Charakter. Noten von Cassis, schwarzen Beeren, Tabak, getrocknete Feigen und etwas Würze harmonieren wunderbar mit dem verführerisch weichen und ungemein saftigen Empfinden am Gaumen. Unterlegt wird dieses Top-Cuvée von einem erfrischenden Säuregerüst und einer wunderbar eingebetteten Tanninstruktur. Ein grossartiger Tropfen der Massstäbe setzt!

A bit of dark chocolate, juicy and open-knit, the wine boasts gently sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and good structure. Finishes with gentle tannins and very good clarity, repeating the spicy note.
