Cruz Alta is a new, higher-end label from Escorihuela, the long-time maker of value-priced Don Gascón. This is indeed a reserve-level wine (with 15% Cabernet and Syrah), and it's ripe, forward, powerful and mildly tannic. And there's lots of oak to offset the dark berry flavors. Finishes toasty and firm, with mocha.
