2004 Bodegas Roda Rioja Roda I Reserva

A nice balance between earthy and fruity. The tannins are still pretty strong, but silky smooth nevertheless. I love how well the spiciness goes with the subtle blend of notes of plum, black cherry, cigar or tobacco. Will continue to drink well for the next couple years at the very least.

2010 Bodegas Sonsierra Rioja Reserva

This is an outstanding wine for the price point. Rioja Alta is my favorite wine region in Spain and Tempranillo is my favorite varietal. However, Spanish wine is very distinct and many people don't like it. This wine was light-medium bodied, yet rich in flavor. Fruity but not overly so. Cherry, raspberry, blackberry and perhaps a bit of strawberry even. Subtle hints of vanilla

Excellent wine, I wouldn't have been able to buy it myself but I had it with my parents over a nice steak dinner with sautéed mushrooms that paired really well. Incredibly smooth, full-bodied wine with a long, complex finish. Dark fruit- black cherry and perhaps pomegranate, but not too fruity. I enjoyed the spice with subtle hints of vanilla and tobacco. Would make a great gift.
