Excellent wine for the price. Full bodied, lots of funk and earth on the nose, medium tannins. Interesting grape that will not be for everyone. But not cookie cutter like many similar American style wines. — 2 days ago

Leathery, full bodied, dry coffee, black cherry. Very good the first day. The second day it exhibited characteristics of a cheaper, new world wine. Would recommend the unusual step of drinking before too much air hits it. — 5 months ago

Terroir driven. As you would expect there is a French refinement and elegance to the wine as opposed to the oak and sun you typically see from this region. This vintner doesn’t make a bad wine. — 8 days ago

Enjoyable easy drinker with more acidity and ripe berries than I associate with French wine. But the terroir is lost with little sense of earth or depth. — a month ago

Confused by the other rating because this is a very good wine for the price. Reminds me of unique Italian varietals from Puglia. Yes it’s fruity but has a nice food acidity and interesting terroir. — 20 days ago

I can smell the wind, the sun, the stone buildings of Spain in this well made of straightforward Rioja. This 2006 is just coming into it’s given that it may have been fruit forward in its early life. I prefer the crianza from this same wine maker, the reserva goes down enjoyably easy. — 5 months ago
