91 Points, "Very good." -- Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
This 100% Tempranillo from the La Mancha region shines a deep and potent red color with intense aromas of ripe fruits and a hint of an olive/nutty quality. Replete with red and black fruit and an elegant touch of American and French oak, it displays great balance between fruit and oak and a long finish. You'll find it to be international in style, versatile wine with good acidity.
