Forget the high price on this Tempranillo Blanco. Looking at the wine alone, it’s briny and stalky on the nose, with wiry lemon-like acids that push sour orange flavors. Overall it’s monotone, briny and citrusy. — (5/1/2013) —83

Smells briney and pickled, much like sauerkraut. The palate has an angular feel, choppy acidity and pickled flavors of apples and wheat. Briney to the max; not very appealing year after year. ——M.S.(2/1/2012)—— 81

Waxy peach aromas seem slightly oxidized. It’s round and citrusy on the palate, but in a monotone way that fades to pithy white fruits and mealy citrus. Shows some flashes of uniqueness and class; mostly it’s wayward and slightly bitter.——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 84
