Medium ruby, tending toward orange at the edges. Nice nose of cherry, cedar, leather. Light-medium body with firm acids, attractive in texture. Finishes with dusty tannins. QPR is fab @ c.$11/bottle.

Great QPR on this Rioja. Slight tannic finish. No real flaws I can detect. Medium to light body. Balanced among fruit, oak, acid. Great with many foods, I expect.

Clear, dark red. Nose is subdued. Palate is red fruit, not too ripe, with good tart acidity. Tannins balance out nicely. Delicious wine, with air a little more oak and spice, but that's not the dominant theme here.

Dark ruby color and a fairly complex Tempranillo with tangy, medium acidity, ripe red plum, black cherry, and licorice. Some smoky, peppery notes, and good tannin structure. A fantastic value for a drinkable, everyday rioja. I’m excited to compare this with the 2014 Reserva Tempranillo, as well.

This Tempranillo was aged for 14 months in hybrid oak barrels and delivers a fragrant and nicely balanced savoury, earthy nose that mingles with sandalwood oak spice, red cherry, and dark berry aromas. It's medium-bodied on the palate with lovely savoury, sandalwood, and cherry flavour replays, plus some coconut notes. Acids are juicy and well-balanced, while smooth tannins are dry and dusty. Earthy and savoury notes linger on the long finish.
dark ruby colour. good. nose: spicy - liqorice, cinaomn, star anise; some balck cherries and sweet cherries; soem plum jam; bit sweet. taste: medium aidity, medium tannins - rather small grains; spicy - cynamon, coconut; plus cherries; some glosspaint; quite long, freshier finish.

Kypsä ja kehittynyt tuoksu tarjoaa kirsikkaa sekä kuivattuja hedelmiä, kuten luumua ja viikunaa. Siinä on myös paahteisia ja nahkaisia vivahteita sekä kahvia, suklaata ja yrttisyyttäkin. Täyteläinen maku lunastaa tuoksun lupaukset. Siinä on lisäksi makeaa mausteisuutta. Napakat tanniinit jäntevöittävät makua. Kypsä kokonaisuus jättää pitkään maistuvan, moniulotteisen, muhevan ja pehmeän, rustiikkissävytteisen jälkivaikutelman.

This has a pleasantly smoky nose with tangy red cherries, raspberries, and notes of menthol, vanilla and herbs. Medium-bodied, light/moderate tannins, tangy acidity. Juicy black cherries topped in roasted herbs, mint, coffee and pepper. Has an easy-drinking personality, but also shows some solid complexity for a Crianza. Aged 14 months in hybrid oak barrels, includes about 4% Mazuelo.

Intensive nose, red fruits, leaves, autumn, tobacco. Interesting and firm taste a bit rough on the finish with some mushroom/umami aftertaste

In a light, forward, and modern style. Not a complex wine, but it is well made, and food-loving.

Cherry & oak, smooth, full-bodied. Acid is in check; will stand up to food, great with steak. Better on day 2. Tannnic needs some more time.

Tasty enough, but fairly simple, leaning modern, and a little light on acid.
