Really nice well rounded tempranillo. Blackberry richness with acid and medium tannins to balance. Very drinkable. Clean finish.

Very nice Tempranillo. Black and red currant notes with a hint of leather or earth with a nice finish. I loved it. Went back for more.

Full bodied, medium tannins. Dry nose with hints of sun, earth, blueberries, blackberries. Medium acidity with with pleasant, subtle spicy finish. Enjoyable if a pedestrian version of a superlative appellation.

Only half american oak and it shows. Less vanilla than el coto but still there. More complexity. I like it. (Goes well with sweet potatoes​.

One of my favorite Tempranillos. Juicy acidity with spice and floral notes.
