Wine Advocate

The 2006 Atteca is 100% Garnacha old-vines ranging from 80-120 years. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers an alluring bouquet of Asian spices, wild black cherry, and blueberry. Layered and sweetly-fruited, the wine is nicely balanced and lengthy. It has enough stuffing to evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now. It is a superb value.

Score: 91. —Jay Miller, February 01, 2008.

Wine Spectator

Chocolate and toasty oak flavors dominate now, but there's a core of plum and blueberry fruit in this solid red. Balanced and accessible, with a sweet chocolate finish.

Score: 87. —Thomas Matthews, June 15, 2008.
