What Critics Think
James Suckling : 92 Points
(10/5/2020) This smells really jammy with so much cherry and berry character. Some raspberries, too. Yet, on the palate it is full and linear with dusty tannins and a fresh finish. White pepper and spice on the finish. Very contrastive and fun to drink From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Wine Enthusiast : 91 Points
(4/1/2024) The scent of raspberry, rose petal and flint emanates from the glass. Bright cherry and pomegranate flavors encased in soft and silky tannins are accompanied by roasted fennel-bulb, white-pepper, lavender and marjoram flavors.
Wine Advocate : 91 Points
(9/10/2020) The 2019 Ternario 1 is pure Garnacha Tintorera from the only trellised vineyard they have, planted ungrafted 25 years ago at 800 meters in altitude. The wine has 12.8% alcohol and good freshness. It fermented with some full clusters and matured in 20,000-liter oak vats and concrete for seven months. There is more concentration here and more structure; the tannins are chalky and the texture serious, and the finish is long and dry. It looks like 2019 is going to be a pleasant and approachable year.
