"Benjamin Romeo has garnered a few perfect scores from The Wine Advocate in the past. His least expensive offering, the brilliant 2009 Predicador is a blend of 96% Tempranillo, 3% Garnacha and 1% Viura aged 16 months in one-year-old French barrels. It exhibits an opaque purple color, beautiful notes of graphite, blackberries, crushed rocks and chalk, full-bodied power, a layered, opulent texture and a deep, dense, rich finish that lasts over 30 seconds. Drink this fabulous value over the next decade or more. Don’t miss it!"
International Wine Cellar 92
"Glass-staining ruby. Explosive, alluring aromas of black and blue fruits, incense, licorice and vanilla bean. Lush and broad but juicy and focused as well, with suave candied dark berry flavors accented by sexy floral and Indian spice nuances. Finishes broad, spicy and impressively long, with echoing boysenberry and licorice notes. In the context of flamboyant, new-wave Rioja this is an absolute steal."~JR
