Not sure if reviews of the Crianza got mixed in here, but this is the Riserva from a great Rioja vintage & is a solidly medium bodied wine. The nose alone is worth the cheap price of admission: ripe cherries, leather, all the classic barrel aged notes of dill & vanilla. Very very fresh though on the palate. Those ripe cherries, dark chocolate notes pick up intensity. For a rich wine ( which is not to my taste) & producer I never tried I was impressed — 2 months ago
Awesome value close out. Aromatic and tertiary at almost a decade old with balsamic, leather, and oak on the nose. Not much primary fruit and actually quite earthy. A great compliment to the Alberdi Reserva which is more polished for the same price should you prefer a shinier style. This to me is more interesting. — 5 months ago
Excellent Zinfandel! Smokey, bold and rich. An absolute repeat for my wife and I. — a month ago
Mature Syrah exactly as it should be. Patience was rewarded. Tannins softened and the super bright fruit of youth given way to dry versions of themselves with black pepper and meat still showing through with leather and earth. — 4 months ago

Continues to be a good Kurt wine choice. — 2 months ago
Wow! What an awesome amazing wine! Might be the absolute best Petite Sirah I’ve ever drank! Marvelous nose, very soft tannins and yet enough structure and youth to suggest longer term storage. Rich, jammy purple fruit, wonderful lingering mouthfeel and just lovely texture to hold before swallowing. Definitely a keeper. — 4 months ago
