Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Bold bright clear ruby red and delicious! A complex and alluring list of aromas include: black plum, black cherry, cassis, sweet baking spices, licorice, cedar, and a touch of pine. The complexity of fruit flavours, acidity and tannin structure on the palate is phenonmenal! Key flavours include: black cherry, plum, cassis, leather, dark chocolate, toast and a touch of mint. The acidity (high) and tannins (equally high) are well integrated. This wine is full bodied with a luscious mouthfeel and a long finish. I totally recommend drinking now but it can age well into 2020. Enjoy with braised meats. Also terrific pair for your holiday roast! Tasted Nov. 2015.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

The 2009 vintage is 100% Tempranillo and 14?V. From Ribera del Duero DO and vinified Crianza style with 15 months bottle aging subsequent to 1.5 years in French Oak barrels. This wine is elegant and integrated at only 7 years since fruit cultivation. This wine is rich and luscious with deep red fruit of cherry and red berry, baking spice, olive brine, and a hint of fresh cut spruce tips. This wine would be a perfect accompaniment for a Canadian Christmas tree ritual or a festive holiday evening dinner party with braised beef AAA pot roast or rack of lamb and braised root vegetables. With well balanced fruit, medium acidity and medium tannins this wine brings complex aromatics as well as refined mouthfeel of finesse to a structured backbone and elegant minerality. With persistence of briny green olives, deep ripe red berry and spice, this wine has a long finish which keeps giving back. Giving a festive Canadian twist, recommend poring with Schwartz Montreal Smoked Meat brisket and Kosher pickles.
