Sweet bright red fruit with waxy vanilla bean and green tobacco notes. Round and smooth with a decent finish. Lots of acidity and lingering grippy tannin. Soft and silky texture. Drink 2019-2025.

Good strength, fruit forward with silky tannins. This was a really good value wine. Screams Rioja and for under $20, that’s not an easy accomplishment.

En nariz presenta mora, torrefacto y especia. En boca tiene una intensidad media, es cálido, astringente, algo picante. Presenta algo de tierra mojada y despuntan ligeramente tonos ácidos. No es largo.

Dark ruby color. Fascinating aromas of dark fruit and toasty popcorn! Dark cherries on the palette, with decent balance but little complexity to recommend. Drinkable but unremarkable.

Still tannic intricately. Dark fruit and cocoa on palate. Slightly bitter finish.

Complex Rioja with dark fruit and vanilla. Good intensity with adequate acidity to keep it from being dull. Can easily be kept for many more years.

Very nice wine. Medium body, silky smooth and easy drinking. A good affordable food freindly wine.

Very good, no age showing yet, it's just a very nicely integrated Reserva. Soft tannins though, drink over the next five years.

Easy drinking; good weeknight wine and reasonable QPR even at $21 from Whole Foods.

Peppery and popcorn. Not too harsh in the finish.

Spicy on the nose; with blackberries and toasty popcorn aromas. Dark fruit on the palette. Grippy tannins and decent acid. Medium finish.
