Wine Spectator 91 points (Feb 29 2012) Cherry, pomegranate, mountain herb and smoke notes mingle in this expressive red. There’s a gentle texture, yet well-integrated tannins provide structure and bright acidity enlivens the floral finish. Mazuelo, Syrah and Garnacha. Drink now through 2015. 7,500 cases made. –TM  Wine Advocate 90 points (May 2011) The 2009 Can Blau is made up of 40% Carinena, 40% Syrah, and 20% Garnacha aged for 12 months in French oak. Wood smoke, spice box, incense, lavender, black cherry and plum aromas are followed by a mouth-filling, round, dense wine with outstanding grip and length. It over-delivers in a big way. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.
