Leather and cherry. A bit light bodied but big flavor and good value at $10.

Liked it (for a red) at first but less as I drank more if it. Started out pretty smooth and mellow but seemed harsher over time

A blend of 80% Tempranillo 20% Garnacha with 12 months of oak barrel aging, this wine has a deep ruby red color and aromas of black fruit and spice. On the palate black cherry and blackberry flavors with hints of woodsy leather and smoky spice. Soft but firm tannins were present with vivid acidity and well balanced. The finish is medium in length and ends with fruity notes. Outstanding value!

Very good Rioja for the price. I love the earthiness and smoky texture. Needs to be decanted or opened for a few hours for best taste.

Temp. Price point makes it slightly better than it is. But still a very satisfying vino.

One of our favorite Riojas. Needs some time to open up but great fruit flavor for the price. 2009 vintage

Smells like leather, acidity (but not overwhelming). Pomegranate on the finish.
