“The 2012 Rompecabezas, Favia's Rhone blend, brings together the dark fleshiness of Mourvedre and Syrah with aromatic top notes of Grenache. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and tobacco are all given an extra dimension of sheen from the silky tannins. Layered and open-knit, the 2012 has plenty of radiance, not to mention considerable near and medium-term appeal. (AG)” (10/2015)

“Powerful and rich, but has a rustic streak. Aromas of smoky pepper beef and black raspberry open to compact, dense flavors of licorice, cigar box and grilled herb. Big tannins frame the finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. (TF)” (03/2016)
