"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

"Deep ruby. Ripe, heady aromas of candied plum, blackberry and potpourri. Rich and fleshy in the mouth, with lively acidity lifting the creamy dark berry and rose pastille flavors. Shows impressive depth and concentration, finishing with a suave sweetness and gentle, harmonious tannins."
