Jay Miller - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2005 Pasodoble is a blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Malbec, and 33% Syrah sourced from a 20 year old vineyard and aged for 12 months in French oak. Dark ruby/purple-colored, it exhibits an expressive perfume of cedar, spice box, pepper, blackcurrants, black cherry, and blueberry. Smooth-textured, elegant, and tasty, this nicely balanced Bordeaux look-alike can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-7 years. It is an outstanding value. Bodegas Poesia is owned by Bordeaux proprietors Helene Garcin and Patrice Leveque, with Leveque doubling as winemaker with consultation from Dr. Alain Raynaud."
"Huge Flavors and the kind of wine I would want people to buy 3 cases of."- Gary Vaynerchuk
"An equal part blend of Malbec, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, totally tank fermented and aged, this is a deliciously dark-fruited wine (blackberries and currants), has silky tannin, medium body, and plenty of personality." - Robert Parker
