8.7

Medium dark ruby hue. Aromas of oak, plum, raspberry, strawberry, and vanilla. Medium body, medium tannins, medium-plus acidity. Bit of alcohol heat on the backend. Nevertheless, very approachable and soft for a Cabernet Sauvignon. Bourbon-barrel aging rounds out the tannins and brings its share of red fruit and vanilla to the palate. — 3 months ago

7.8

Medium ruby hue. Aromas of earthy, plum, raspberry, smoke, and yeast--and more than a hint of Brettanomyces. Medium body; medium tannins; medium acidity; flavors of black fruit. Rather robust and rustic, so I suspect other varietals blended in. Medium length on a somewhat bitter finish. — 7 months ago

Deep ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherry, earthy, eucalyptus, licorice, plum, and violet. Medium-plus body, with full, grainy tannins and medium-plus acidity. Engaging nose, smooth palate, long finish. A solid, well-made Rioja that's drinking beautifully now. Blend of Tempranillo (95%) and Graciano (5%). — 7 months ago
