Mainly garnacha (92%) this wine has a vibrant red fruit core with crisp acidity and minimal oak on the nose and palate. It’s overflowing with red cherry, dried orange peel, and brush herbs reminiscent of rosemary and thyme with a hint of leather and tar on the long finish. It’s wonderfully easy drinking and the pedigree is impeccable - it’s made by Priorat-wizard Alvaro Palacios from his family’s Vineyards in Rioja Baja. Organic, minimal sulfur use. 14% abv — 12 days ago

Very similar to the La Rioja Alta but, more fruit forward.

Excellent follow up to the 04 with our Tri-tip.

Nicely done fruit. A bit much oak but still enjoyable. Overall very quaffable and delicious present fruit! — 5 days ago

I've always thought this wine has a feistiness that you don't see from hotter regions. An elegance in there too though. I like it. Our new tradition is to also pick up some tomatoes when we visit the winery. The hilarious memories we've had here over the years admittedly skews my ratings here, but this Tempranillo shines and is an Okanagan unicorn. — a day ago

Beauty. Multi-layered and complex. Lots of earthy notes hitting on the tail-end. This is a well-made wine. — 21 hours ago

Broad and plummy fruit with sour cherry. Soft herbal notes and minerals. Tangy and vivacious still. Excellent. — 7 days ago

Top shoulder. Got the cork out in one piece. Absolutely perfect bottle with a lot left to give. Thick balsamic fruit, soft tannins, integrated oak, fresh acidity, everything in absolute balance. In a way almost perfect on the verge of lacking a bit of personality, but only almost. This has 10 years of life ahead of it but No reason to wait. — 2 days ago
