Finca Sandoval Manchuela 2007

Wine Advocate: “The 2007 Finca Sandoval is composed of 76% Syrah, 13% Mourvedre, and 11% Bobal.

Purple in color, it exhibits a fragrant nose of mineral, underbrush, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry.  This

is followed by a dense, layered, full-bodied wine with copious spice and black fruit notes emerging on the palate

Well balanced and with enough structure to evolve for several years, it will drink well through 2021. 93 points.”

International Wine Cellar: “Opaque purple.  Brooding dark berry and kirsch aromas are complicated by cracked

pepper and musky Indian spices.  Pliant blackberry and cassis flavors are surprisingly energetic, with lively acidity

adding spine and fine-grained tannins providing shape.  The spicy note repeats on the very lively, sweet finish.

93 points.”
