4/11/2014 - Ron Van Holland wrote: 91 pointsMedium ruby / burnt orange color. Northern sour cherry and sweet spices with Rioja-tangy fruit. Choke cherry with coal-black mocha finish. Beautifully crafted with classic Rioja Alta clarity, it's an archetype 100% Rioja tempranillo from color to finish. Still young, but the energy is worth experiencing right now. |

9/1/2014 - cristian_m wrote: 89 pointsA solid effort. Lighter and more whimsical than their other offerings. Still a very good Rioja though with typical tempranillo profile. Would benefit from another year or maybe two in the bottle, but I suspect that it will peak then and not go longer. |

8/30/2014 - Oldworlddrinker Likes this wine: 88 pointsGreat Rioja at a good price point. Red color with some level of translucency, on the nose bouquet of crushed berries with vanilla extract. The body is medium light, showing notes of cola, tobacco, vanilla and dark fruits. Is a easy to drink wine that pairs well with food, I had it with paella in the last weekend of summer and my guests were delighted by the matching. The rating is driven by wishing just a nod drier. |

9/17/2014 - shleepy wrote: 92 pointsRuby color. Doesn't seem to have the orangish tint on the edges that's typical for Riojas. Smell and taste are very representative of other Altas, though. Quite oaky. Very sharp (tannic) and spicy taste. Brightly fruity finish. Tasty and a great value. |

9/18/2014 - MMiazga Likes this wine: 90 pointsThese seem to keep getting better, great everyday value available today to keep around. New world style, oaky, orange peel flavors, moderate fruit and not overly acidic -- it seems to have balanced out some since earlier this year. Okay to PnP, and will be drinking final 6 bottles over the next few years. |

10/18/2014 - JVG wrote: NRBright, clear ruby/garnet in hue. Lots of traditional American oak dominates the nose at first, with buttery, creamy, dill notes. Beneath that and with some air come bright red cherry and raspberry, dried flowers, cinnamon, leather, and herb. Too much oak for me at this point, though I'm sure it will recede with age. Still pretty oaky on the palate, but the other characteristics are turned up a notch and balance better, with an explosion of juicy red fruits (makes me think particularly of cherry and pomegranate) and a nice dusting of baking spices. There's also some nice underbrush / cedar / tobacco character as well as a cured-meat savoriness. It has a nice middle weight in the mouth and a smooth, well-knit texture somewhere between silk and velvet in thickness, and has good freshness. Long, spicy, dark chocolate finish. Very classy stuff on the palate. |

11/2/2014 - SoundinBetween wrote: NRVin Chicago tasting. The gumball/high-toned nature of the oak is evident on this and has too much influence on the final product. A review somewhere calls this a good classic example of Rioja, but I didn't find that to be the case.. the oak threw this one off for me. |
