What else would be in your Top 10 🤔 — 7 years ago
Bodegas Roda is modern by any standards. It was founded in 1987 and their first vintage was released in 1994 in a region that has been making wine since Roman times. And modern is a synonym for different, and in this case: this means brighter red fruit, softer tannins, medium acidity, and a long vanilla-ish finish. More elegant and refined than your typical Rioja! Cheers. — a year ago

Really well made, I did not enjoy the 11 as much as I loved this one. Ripe cherries wrapped in tobacco and local spices (rosemary, fennel). Great tannins and length. Congrats (a competitor to Roda, my homeground, and a good solid one). — 7 years ago
