A delicious Rioja crianza (reserva for us so we pay more?). Pop and pour Tempranillo goodness with a Rhone lavender silky finish as a bonus. Amazing value. Bought another immediately.

Gorgeous wine on the pretty end of the classic Rioja spectrum. Pure red fruit with some floral character and just the right amount of oak influence, hinting at cedar and spice.

Drank 7/6/20. Excellent with lamb kebabs. A well balanced wine that would pair well with a variety meat based dishes. On the nose scents of black cherry, black fruit, baking spice, sawn lumber, and some coconut. Flavors of cassis, black cherry, and spice are backed by medium plus, but well integrated tannins. It's hard to believe this is the bottom end offering from this producer. An excellent value. If I had to be critical, its perhaps a touch hot (14.5% alc), bit this is more a factor of the vintage. 4/21/8/4/4 = 91 pts.

Deep Ruby with aromas of bright red fruits with graphite notes. A 100% Tempranillo from exceptional vineyards, aged in new American oak for one year then in 3-year old oak for the second year of aging. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with vanilla oak, earthy spice and chewy savory tannins, well balanced. Long finish ending with spicy fruit characteristics. Very nice, great value. Yum!!

Drank 11/4/21. Better integrated than last time I tasted, this was pop and pur ready after a bit of aeration Nose of black cherry, vanilla, coconut, baking spice, and a touch of cedar. Flavors are similar and show the hand of a an expert winemaker with perfect balance. 3/21/9/5/3 +50 = 91 pts.
