Garnet color with red fruit, spice, vanilla,and hints of earth and floral aromas. On the palate it's between light and medium-bodied with good acidity, and dark cherry, vanilla, and spice flavors. Smooth mouth feel. Surprisingly persistent on the palate at this price point. Medium long finish.$10! Don't know how the Spanish do it, but me likey! Great QPR

This is a delicious Rioja. New style, fresh. Full 100% Tempranillo. Fruit forward. Nice finish. Mouthful. Again, delicious!

Impressive! Newer Rioja flexing its muscles. Velvet, just the right amount of tannins, finish that makes you want more.

Ageing really well. In a good spot, although it took 3 days to finally open up

A full-bodied Tempranillo with lots of intense fruit flavors and a hint of licorice. A great choice if you're looking for generous structure!

Nose somewhat closed with hints dark cherry, oaky and fruit forward with fine tannins. Seems tailor made for the American palate. Not my thing.

This is a very nice Rioja in 2018. Has oak and hints of black berries, plum, vanilla and cigar. Very much enjoyed. Thank you for sharing with me Jana. Aged very well and carefully.
