Hard to believe this is a Crianza. A lot of wine here for the money. Lots of dark fruit and generous American oak influence. Full body and a long,enduring finish. A very satisfying ,bold Rioja for $23. Screaming deal. — 6 years ago
This wine was served at a luncheon at the winemaker with three starters: smoked salmon, marinated mushrooms and a queso/paprika "taco". — 8 years ago
This Rioja is drinking beautifully but by no means mature. Deep colour, secondary bouquet of dark fruits and sous bois. Very good length and surprisingly fresh with some modest tannins in the background. Very nice. — 5 years ago

So this is the stuff they don't send overseas - very bright, fruit forward, fun wine. It was only 18 euros, we bought a bunch to drink along the way! — 9 years ago
