Soft,
Right from the nose you knows, it’s a soft wine: not quite hotel, yet manipulated enough away from its terroir. Grape, (Ha!) small vanillin tannins mingled with jammy fruits.

Fruity background with cherry and vanilla flavors. Dark cherry red in color. A smooth drinking Rioja with a slightly bitter aftertaste. The French and American Oak aging is noticeable. A very good wine at this price point. It is the perfect choice for Sangria, or to drink on its own.

Light to medium body. 75% Tempranillo 25% garnacha. Aged 12 months in French and American oak barrels. Red fruits - cherry. Light oak. Decent for the $. Looking forward to trying the next level reserve from them to see the difference

Beautifully complex Rioja. Love this in its own or with spicy food. It’s not the richest wine, but nice, buttery finish
