MARQUÉS DE MURRIETA 2013 SCORE JAMES SUCKLING (UK): 91 points. Curious red with dried berry, light raisin and floral character, and just a hint of green. Follows through to a full body and firm, silky tannins. Drink now. ROBERT PARKER (USA): 92 points. This is a somehow unusual vintage of Murrieta Reserva from a challenging vintage, with aromas of beef blood, sweet spices and red cherries. The palate is vibrant with citrus acidity, flavors of acid berries and an elegant, long finish. Unusual, but I like it.
