Medium bodied, a little French oak. Fruit purity shines and a touch of classy toastiness. Herbal notes. Classic flavors. Very good.

Ripe, extracted and overall quite heavy style. Dripping with American oak.

Delicious wine, not sweet but you can taste the strawberry & cherry. Very good acid content keeps it grounded.

Something is off with this. A bit tart/sour , which distracts from anything else. A little cloudy. Lots of raspberry. Is this really Tempranillo...? No thanks

Disappointing. Acidic and fruity, lacking a backbone.
