90 pts. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: August, 2008
The 2007 El Molinet is a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for six months in seasoned oak before bottling without filtration. Purple-colored, the wine has an expressive perfume of cedar, tobacco, mineral, and blackberry. Smooth-textured and layered, this ripe, spicy wine has a forward personality and a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next five years.

90 pts. Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: Sep/Oct 2008
Deep, bright red. Fresh red berry and baking spice aromas are strikingly brisk and focused. Racy, light-bodied raspberry and cherry flavors are unencumbered by tannins but nicely framed by juicy acidity. Pinot-like in its vivacious, red-fruit expression and firm finishing cut. This is really delicious.

This wine revolves around its attention-grabbing ripe black cherry flavor, surrounded by notes of walnuts and sweet spice. It’s a big, generous wine for rabbit paella.
