點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2536

An unusual blend of Tempranillo and Ruby Cabernet, this New Mexico red blend is a touch overripe with soft, cooked prune and cherry compote flavors. Hints of violet and tobacco leaf are pretty, but overall, there's a flatness in the midpalate that could use some fine-tuning. ——A.I.(12/1/2011)—— 84

An eclectic blend of 55% Ruby Cabernet and 45% Tempranillo turns out an off-beat wine, with smoke and char notes dominating the nose and a tinge of perfumed hand soap hanging behind the raspberry fruit in the mouth. It’s pointedly crisp, with slightly overworked tannins but an agreeable final note of mixed berries.——W.E.(7/1/2010)—— 81

This New Mexico red blend offers a nose of herbs, currants and pepper and a balanced red fruit and acid character. A touch of oak and a spin of leather give it added dimension. Though the tannins are soft, the wine has an ageable character. Pair with southwestern cuisine and grilled meats.——S.K.(10/1/2009)—— 86
