  Still think this is ok everyday Spanish wine. A little light in color but very clear and bright. Flavorful and a little complex. Lacking body and much finish. Fell apart later in the evening.

  Who put pinot noir in my rioja? Really, this tasted remarkably like a $12 pinot, not at all like a tempranillo. It was very light and thin, but if I had been given this blind, there is no doubt I would have identified it as a mediocre PN. Strange indeed...

  think I paid $9 for this-
  Some rasberry on the nose with a beaujolais nouveau mixed in- Not really inspiring very light bodied there were points while drinking this wine it had a bizare mid palate and fairly acidic finish and other times the fruit carried through to make this an easy drinker- at its best an 84 and at its worst an 80- just an odd wine-Not consistant from sip to sip and would not rebuy this. If this was an 09 I would put it down to youth but being an 06 can not see anything better happening for it.
