"Ruby red with garnet streaks. Notes of candied fruits and spices the transition to ­underbrush, tea and amber hints. Tannins and acidity find a pleasant balance. Pairs well with roast veal, lamb, game and ripe cheeses."

"Vibrant ruby red in color with fresh cherry and plum aromas."

"The 2009 Signo Bobal (a blend of 90% Bobal and 10% Syrah) may be the finest Bobal-based wine I have ever had. It was bottled without fining or filtration after spending time in mostly French and some American oak. It boasts a dense purple color along with wonderful sweet, jammy strawberry and black cherry notes intermixed with floral, licorice, graphite and spice characteristics. This dense red reveals a terrific texture as well as a full-bodied mouthfeel, yet it is light on its feet. This amazing Bobal should drink well for 3-4 years." -Robert Parker

"Lively ruby-red with light garnet red highlights. Intense, complex, fruity of morello cherry and pleasant. Dry, full, pleasantly winy, balanced, full-bodied and persistent."

"The minerality of the nose creates a delicate combination of morello and sour cherry and prune. Floral and spicy notes follow in a superbly persistent finish. Gentle tannins, impressive acidity combine with the classic delicacy and alcoholic content of Primitivo in the flavors of this once forceful but now elegant and noble wine."
