: « The 2008 Crianza sees 12 months aging in French and American oak. It has
a well-defined, elegant bouquet of blackberry, sage and orange zest,
the latter really coming forth with aeration. The palate is well-defined
with supple tannins and layers of refined red fruit that caress the
mouth and lend it a smooth, velvety finish that is impossible to resist. »

: « "The 2004 Allende, a 100 % Tempranillo cuvee, was barrel fermented in a mix of new and used French oak, remained in barrel for 13 months, and was bottled unfiltered. The wine is inky purple-colored and has a superb nose of pain grille, mineral, violets, cranberry, and blueberry. The youthful palate reveals layers of fruit, ripe tannin, and excellent balance. The wine merits another 3-4 years of bottle age and should drink well through 2020. Kudos to Finca Allende for a magnificent set of 2004 Riojas !" »
