Robert Parker

Rating: Robert Parker 92/100, Guia Penin 94/100
“The 2011 Predicador displays a beautiful, bright cherry color, with notes of licorice, black fruits (plum, blackberry, and blackcurrant), and hints of spicy notes (cloves). The medium-bodied palate reveals skillful work with the oak, which is very well integrated, and a backbone of acidity that makes the wine long and fresh. Excellent value.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Wine rated (2013 guide) 92/100 (Excellent wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2011 Predicador displays a beautiful, bright cherry color, with notes of licorice, black fruits (plum, blackberry, and blackcurrant), and hints of spicy notes (cloves). On the palate, this medium-bodied wine reveals skillful oak aging, which is very well integrated, and a backbone of acidity that gives the wine a long, fresh finish. Excellent value for money.
