Reserva Rioja Tempranillo
Nice Rioja. Very polished and not as rough around the edges as what I expect with Rioja.

Mar 30th, 2021Founded in 1879, named after the winery's initials, but a mistake - the 'V' was written as a 'U' - led to the creation of the Cune label. A blend of 85% Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo, dark Ruby with aromas of ripe red and black fruits with a earthy woody nose. On the palate raspberry and blackberry flavors with vanilla spice, licorice and notes of cacao. Well balanced with lively acidity, soft tannins will only get better, long ending with sweet fruit and earthy spice character. Nice! Tasting Sample!

Oct 16th, 2020A blend of 85% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano, 18 months of barrel aging, medium Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of fresh cherry and raspberry with espresso, vanilla & toasty oak tones. Soft ripe tannins, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy character. Nice value!

Sep 4th, 2020Great value Reserva. Lots of oak ( vanilla) influence. Nice balance, body and acidity. Very enjoyable fruit notes of cherry plum blackberry red fruit. Ther is an earthy side with black fruit cassis rounding out the flavor profile. Suggested

May 26th, 2017Wine Spectator 93 pts. I really like this wine, fairly light for a Tempranillo. Nicely structured. A great quaffer. Takes some time to open up.
