Can Rioja Crianzas do no wrong??!! Such a gift of rich, joyous, wood aged red fruits, from old school, at 15$. Balanced,but full on the palate. Crazy.

Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and sweet spicy notes. Aged in French and American Oak, on the palate complex flavors of sweet ripe cherry and blueberry fruit, medium acidity, soft tannins and slight tangy smoky cedar finish. Tremendous Spanish wine value. Still tasting well.

Badass Crianza that has plenty of grip and structure. Concentrated and built for 5-7 years’ cellaring. The antithesis of the lactic, pruny, brownish and overly oaked Rioja that seems to be everywhere.

I’m finding this to be very elegant and lively with its spicy, red-fruited expression of pure Tempranillo. I love this style and the price point.

Aug 5th, 2018Founded by Guillermo Eguren, who is a self-made "bodeguero", coming from a family tradition of vine growers. Made from 100% Tempranillo, Ruby with fresh aromas of red fruits with sharp spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry with toasty oak notes, well balanced. Tangy citrus finish with cedar and tobacco on lively ending. Tremendous value, aged well, you will be impressed as I am! Good now but will improve over short term aging! A Fav!!!

Balanced and lively. Light tannins. Would want some of this with dinner. Top 10 2017 tasting at NCWC. 90 Pts WS. Retasting 6/9 still the same, not too exciting.
