Blueberry, Blackberry and raspberry permeate the nose along with roses and violets, all follow through to the palate along with licorice. very pleasant oak and vanilla flavors add to the depth. Tannins are soft and match harmoniously with the acidity. Bright and tasty

simple and round fruit, almost plummy. Not like the older Riojas that I am used to. A touch disappointing because of lack of either balance or complexity. Not expensive, but wouldn't repeat unless it is less than $10.

A very good Rioja. Light body, and slightly sweet. Good to relax with.

A bit boring. Not much going on. A bit of cherry. And oaky.

Bright clean fruit with just a hint of the over lay of darker wood. Really quite well done, especially at $12.

Nothing Special about this bottle. Oak is dominant and tart cherry on the back end. Will not buy again...

Opened this last night and got a dominant taste of oak. Maybe I was just not in the mood but this was only so-so.

Closed nose but on palate this wine showed bright berry fruit with silky tannin structure. Not overly complex but what you should expect at this $$.

Concentrated for a tinto. With a punch and driving acidity. I wish it was $9, but its $14. Maybe one of the better Riojas I have had at that price.
