Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This young Tempranillo is surprisingly approachable already, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Needs time to open up properly, but really nice right out of the bottle.
Elegant, rich and robust.
A blend of 87% Tempranillo, 9% Mazuelo and 4% Graciano. Grapes are grown at 1,500 feet of elevation. Aged in new French oak barrels for 13 months.
14% alcohol by volume.

2017 vintage. Excellent. Smooth, complex, full of flavor. — 2 months ago
Excellent Spanish rioja. "Everyone loves rioja!" is what we agreed with the sommelier at the tasting. Nice notes of fruit and not too tanic. Finish is a touch sweet but not too much. Paired nicely with manchego cheese. — 2 years ago
