Versatile red with interesting flavor. Medium bodied with good complexity. Great value.

Not as rich as many Rioja wines (crianza being not as barrel-aged as it's big brothers).

This is a smooth drinking wine with soft tannins and modest acidity. Very good, not great with grana padano and a few slices of heavenly rich Jamon Iberico De bellota.

Ok. Not much on the nose, medium to low finish, and something I would classify as a modest table wine.

Topical for the varietal and the region, delicious with the tapas at this mountain gem.

Not too sweet, not too dry and goes down very smoothly. Nice fruit flavors start to finish. Enjoyed this wine very much with Sardinian food.

Im at a popular restaurant called Cali n titos / pollo criollo This is their best wine for my palet The color is very opaque. No lght can travel through this wine. The boquet is slightly tannic, but not bad. Almost like smelling a daisy in a field. The initial taste is sweet and dry at the same time. It does not taste old, but boquet adds hints of oxidation. For a restaurant its really better than the average. The finish is okay. Its a cheap wine, but high scale for a restaurant. I will drink this every time I come here. Mainly because thr othe choices are terrible.
