Oh wow that nose! Tar, oak, vanilla, blackberry, cherry... That's an intense nose. The palate is well designed with a great acid drive, some extreme width, some thick matter on the sides, you could chew through it... The mid palate is made of massive sphere of fun with gentle, caressing tannins, before a great finish with oaky notes, that tannic layer and these blackberry and cherry notes that last for ever. Great stuff! — 5 months ago

Rustic and warming. Complex character. Great with pizza. Perhaps grilled flank steak with chimichurri or tapas on the back porch. We really liked this wine. — a year ago

Not your typical California or French Rose, but $14.00 on sale it works
Definitely will decant my 2nd bottling

Winery Notes,
Honorío Rubio is a Riojano white and rosé specialist. In a land best known for its incredibly age-worthy reds, among many die-hards out there it is undoubtedly the traditional whites which represent Rioja's finest and most original wines. We would add as well the barrel aged rosés, which are incredibly rare (Lopez de Heredia's has not been available for over 5 years, and we hear that they will finally have a little bit of the next release, 2008, in 2018!) Honorío makes an absolutely killer rosé, from some of his oldest Viura and Garnacha, briefly macerated and co-fermented, then aged 16 months in used barrels (which previously held his Lias Finas white wine). An inimitable, rich and bright, incredibly food friendly style of rosé. — 4 years ago
