Very nice Rioja! Wonderful nose of dusty violets, rose petals and blueberry. Full and round pallet of dark red fruits, vanilla and caramel. Soft tannins and long finish. Great. QPR.

Great medium bodied wine. Great to mix with a table of tapas entrees that are great delectable choices. Highly recommended.

green pepper. Vanilla in the nose
Funky balance. Light but good tannin structure. Improved after being open for a little.

Strong fragrance of red fruit like strawberries and cherries. Bold flavor in this full bodied red. Leans towards the acidic side with a nice medium finish that leaves you wanting more.
