93 points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: "Inky ruby. Explosively aromatic bouquet of red berry compote, baking spices and flowers, along with mocha, anise and vanilla. Deep, sweet and palate-staining, with intense raspberry and kirsch flavors, supple tannins and a jolt of fresh minerals on the finish. The spicy character lingers with superb clarity and persistence." (Sept/Oct 2007) La Creu Alta is typically a blend of 70% Carignan and 15% Grenache and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon from old vines and steep hillsides planted in llicorella slate, made only in top vintages. The wine is aged for 18 months in a combination of new and used French oak. Michel Tardieu and Philippe Cambie (of southern Rhone Valley fame) consult for the winery, lending their considerable talent and experience creating top flight Chateauneuf du Pape to the wines of this rugged Catalan region.
