For the most part this is smooth, ripe red wine. At 50% Cabernet and 50% Merlot the flavors and style should be familiar, but still this wine has its own Catalonian personality. It’s concentrated and ripe but not all that heavy. Overall it’s very Mediterranean/mountainous and not very New World at all. A fine match for good food.——M.S.(12/15/2007)—— 88
