Untitled
"This international style red is full-bodied, with plenty of alcohol and ripe tannins to back its plush texture. Yet the flavors are distinctive, with cassis, chocolate, sanguine and mineral notes. Powerful but still lively, this brings you back for another sip. Syrah, Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Bobal. Drink now through 2011. 500 cases imported. –TM" -Rated 91, Wine Spectator

"The brilliant 2004 Finca Sandoval (83% Syrah, 9% Monastrell, and 8% Bobal) is produced from a vineyard situated on a plateau at 2250 feet elevation. Consequently, there is an unexpected freshness and uplift to this cuvee. Aged completely in French oak for 11 months, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple hue as well as a full-bodied, scorched earth character reminiscent of a French Graves. Sweet blackberry and cassis fruit, underlying minerality, silky tannin, and a textured, rich mouthfeel suggest this beautiful wine should drink well for a decade or more." -Rated 93, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Dark violet. Inky, powerful, brooding nose opens slowly to show sexy, intense floral and oak spice-inflected notes of cassis, blackberry and cherry. Wonderfully perfumed and exotic, with strong mineral accenting the deep dark fruit flavors; complementary notes of bitter chocolate, violet and cola add interest. This would be a great ringer in a tasting of big-time-and far more expensive-Northern Rhone wines. Finishes with superb intensity, sweetness, clarity and length, with lingering notes of candied licorice, graphite and exotic spices. " -Rated 93, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
