2011 R&G Rioja
Wonderful, especially for this price...but wonderful, nonetheless. What a surprise find!
Rich, full-bodied, not too fruity... a great 100% Tempranillo, Spanish Rioja and only 14% alcohol.
Highly recommend!

Fabulous vintage for $14.99, but it is actually $6.99 at Kroger! Great find from Michel Roland. Would be even better in 5 years, but drinks too well to wait, especially at this price point. Dark plum, black cherry, notes of tobacco and vanilla on the back end, bright acidity in the finish, 100% Tempranillo.

Really enjoyable, bought 6 cases for family and self. Nice quality Rioja, integrated oak that hold for a couple days out of the fridge.

Price varied, first saw $9 and thought it was a steal at that price. Pairs well with your choice of hard cheese @ room temp, pizza, etc.

Found this at Kroger for $10. What a steal! Such a lovely smooth wine with notes of chocolate, cherry and tobacco.

Smooth as silk; yet, great structure & elegant finish paired with spinach, shrimp & scallop lasagna in Delta One on way to Amsterdam
