This bottle amazed me for the price point. I think this was like $10-12 in Spec's and was equivalent in flavor and depth to the ~$30 2006 Numanthia Termes. Very quitable. If you like a lot of flavor, this wine has a boisterous, complex amount of fruits and berries. Not as long a finish as the Numanthia but certainly not lacking in punch. If you can find this, pick one up and drink it as you can't go wrong for the price.

Simple structure, not robust as one would expect from a Rioja. Fruity but unintrusive. $15. Not complex. Good for ordinary foods and company. Mirrors a Pino.

Good for an everyday wine. Modern fruity style of rioja. Berry fruits and a nice touch of vanilla from the oak.

Bit heavy on oak - uses new French and American oak for 18 months. Not a bad everyday wine.
