Wine Critic Review: "90 Points, Robert Parker, 'The 2008 Senda 66 spent 8 months in new French
oak. Purple/black in color, it sports a fragrant nose of spice box, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry.
Smooth-textured, layered, and remarkably rich on the palate for its humble price, this lengthy effort will
drink nicely over the next 5-6 years.'”
My Review: The smell of the Tempranillo was heavy on fruits, in particular, blueberry, blackberry, and something herbal (I could not figure of what it was). The color of this wine was unique, it was almost like a light purple, I have never seen that before. The taste was mostly blueberry and herbs with some heat to it while tasting it and for an aftertaste. This light-medium bodied wine was my favorite during the tasting at the Vintage Cellar.
This wine was not tried with food.
