This #rioja is a nice bridge between modern style with the American oak and traditional style - bramble fruit, soft tobacco notes set off against sous bois, cremini mushroom. Nice weighty palate with deliciously quaffable acidity and yes some new oak tannins but they are well integrated. While this wine will continue to develop for another 5 years, in it’s half-decade it paired magnificently with garam masala spiced lamb chops, garbanzo bean stew (chole) and moong dal for an Indian feast on vacation. — 4 years ago

Subtle aromatics of pear and papaya. White flowers, lilies, methinks.
Slight bubbles dancing on the taste buds, strong medium acidity as a great backbone to the lavender, pear, and honey.
Our first night out one the first day of Phase 2. Outdoor dining in Spring, can do. — 5 years ago
