Can't say I've had it under that label. Even though it comes from older vineyards I believe it is a newer package in recent years - it would likely never make the cut on a decent wine list unless it had a Spanish theme or the cellarmaster or owner had an affinity for it.

However, I think Parker gave it some 90 pts. recently and that's certainly good enough to really enjoy for the right person or meal complement. I am partial to old-world, old-vine wines though and there are some really great buys on Spanish wines. Bummer Spain had to go socialist so I won't promote them for now like I have in the past.

If you like this wine I'd suggest to find and try an old-vine Argentinian Malbec; although it is hit-and-miss on quality (there are just so many of them in the so same price range) but if you stumble on a gem you'll back and buy the rest of the case.
