Produced from higher elevation Tempranilo and Garnacha, this lovely Rioja is just 12% ABV. It tastes as light and fresh as you would expect from a red wine clocking in at barely 12%. Think Bourgone rouge here, transported to Northern Spain. Lovely fruit and floral notes prevail in this delightful Rioja

Elegant from the first sip. None of the sharp/sweet fruit sometimes characteristic of California Pinots. Restrained a bit, but round and delicious. Have had 3 bottles over the past year and all measured up.
