2007 Artazu
90 points Steve Tanzer: `Vivid ruby-red. Bright, sharply focused nose offers spicy strawberry and raspberry aromas, with a tangy white pepper overtone. Deeper cherry and blackberry flavors stain the palate and gain sweetness with air, picking up dusty tannins. More ample than past vintages of this wine, with excellent finishing sweetness and energy. Terrific value.` Wine Advocate: `The 2007 Artazuri Tinto is 100% old-vine Garnacha aged for 6 months in tank and neutral oak. Purple-colored, it has an enticing perfume of cherry and mineral. Friendly and seamless on the palate with gobs of sweet fruit, this crowd-pleaser can be enjoyed over the next three years.`
