International Wine Review awards 92 points to Mercedes Eguren

The International Wine Review in its November online publication on Spanish Wine (www.i-winereview.com) awarded 92 points to the Mercedes Eguren Shiraz-Tempranillo 2005 vintage and 90 points to the 2006 vintage from VT Tierra de Castilla, both of which are available currently in the ENYE portfolio and at fine retailers and restaurants in and around Chicagoland.

Of the 2005 Shiraz-Tempranillo, the International Wine Review writes:
"What a stunner! The color is dark ruby with a ruby-garnet rim. Aromas of dark fruit with leather notes give way to a soft attack of layered sweet black fruit with chocolate and plum notes on the palate. Oak and fruit are nicely integrated, and the tannins are soft and ripe on the long finish. " 92 points.

... and the 2006:
"A 50% Shiraz, 50% Tempranillo blend that spends 6 months in American oak. Has a deep ruby core and purple rim with aromas of ripe plum and black cherry fruit with earth notes. This is a well-balanced and nicely integrated modern style wine that offers an expressive, soft, sweet attack of bright plum fruit with a nice long, firm tannic finish. " 90 points.
