I am not a fan of the “new school” relatively-extracted, French-oak aged Rioja. This is not that. This is old fashioned, old-school. And perfectly resolved. Nose has sweet spices, lovely vanilla-tinged American oak, ripe berry. Balanced and soft and enveloping in the mouth. I’m surprised how much I like this (because of my predilection to be skeptical of Rioja, nothing else). — 2 years ago

Dry. And takes a long journey that settles, reminding you of its dryness. — 6 years ago

Strong, tannic but enough fruit and acidity to cut through. Dark plums and blackcurrants. — 7 years ago

My second Franco-Españolas bottle in as many days, checking in on this budget Viura.

Nose of ripe white peach, citrus zest and a faint warm caramel note.
Palate has ripe white peach, citrus pulp and a sweet saline note.

This has picked up some new aspects since our last bottle. Still an uncomplicated wine and easy to appreciate, yet divisive as my cuter half continues to not be a fan of this, and all the prior ones. — 8 years ago

Terrific viura from the Rioja area in Spain. A great way to start our week in Cancun!

Un vino de Umbría región al centro de Italia, por lo tanto no tiene influencia marina. Este vino lo abrimos la semana pasada lo degustamos con un guiso de carne, con arroz blanco, como no terminamos la botella lo guardamos en el refigerador y al día siguiente lo acompañamos con unos spaguethis con pomarola, quedo muy bien con nuestro menú, buen domingo! — 10 years ago

Probably the best bottle of this I’ve had. Perfectly matured classical Rioja. Black cherries, some caramel, no tannins left and piercing acidity. — 4 years ago

May be biased towards this wine as the first time I’d had it was at Centro Storico in Serralunga. Drinking beautifully right now. Kirsch, cedar, licorice — 8 years ago
