  By the glass. Artificial on the nose with notes of strawberry bubblegum and pears in syrup. Disgusting although some find it as modern style wine. On the palate it is fresh and full of fruit. Overwhelmingly boring. It is as if a wine of Jumilla merged with another cosechero from La Rioja alavesa. Nothing to be remembered. So paradoxically a free oak wine (really?) from the Oak Valley. Funny word game for a winery that you can find in every American supermarket.
  
  Por copas. Artificial en nariz con notas de chicle de fresa y de peras en almíbar. Repugnante aunque algunos lo encuentran de estilo moderno. Al paladar es todavía fresco y lleno de fruta. Abrumadoramente aburrido.
  Es como si un vino de Jumilla se fusionase con otro cosechero de La Rioja alavesa. Para olvidar. Así que paradójicamente un vino libre de roble (¿de verdad?) del Valle de los Robles. Divertido juego de palabras para una bodega que puedes encontrar en cualquier supermercado estadounidense.

  There's pretty much nothing to report with this very poor effort.
  A nose of over sweet stewed strawberries. Very thin in the mouth, with a total lack of any acidity and tannic structure. Definatly the worst wine i've tasted this year, and if I had to add a drinking window it would read 'never'!

  Disappointingly thin nose and palette
