'Ruby-red. Dark cherry and plum aromas are open and almost jammy. Lush red berry and cherry flavors deepen with air, picking up a warm, liqueur-like character. With no tannins in evidence, the ripe, sweet fruit runs wild. A lush, creamy style that will appeal to fruit-bomb freaks. And a bargain for the type'.Josh Raynolds.

'The 2005 Equis is a custom cuvee selected by importer Eric Solomon. The wine is a blend of 40% Bobal, 20% Merlot, and equal parts Syrah, Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards located between Valencia and Yecla. This purple-colored, unoaked wine offers fragrant scents of black currants, pepper, smoke, blackberry, and black cherry. Full-bodied, inky, and concentrated, it has gobs of flavor and a heady finish. Drink this excellent value over the next 2-3 years'.Jay Miller
