Founded by Celestino Navajas in 1874 in the town of Fuenmayor in Spain's Rioja Alta region, the major and most traditional winemaking region in Spain. Deep red with berry fruit and spice aromas. Cherry and plum with savory tannins, smooth texture on lingering finish ending with slight earthy tones. Nice value!
