Decent Rioja Crianza, a fair amount of oak-vanilla, sweet, tobacco, spice, jam, medium+ tannins, medium acidity, smokey

Nice Rioja, and a bargain. The nose has lots of cherries and vanilla. The palate has smooth integrated tannins, with lots of peppery spice, tart fruit, and a nice mouthfeel. Food-friendly.

Lots of new oak. New world style. Still restrained which is a pleasant factor. Give me back my dirty.

The combination of American and French oak did good things. Stewed dark fruit reminiscent of plums and blackberries and some more subdued dark red fruit. Tannin med +, finish med +.

Great! A tad bigger than many Riojas, making it a nice wine for those used to CA reds.

Aromas of dark cherries, dry cheese and vanilla. Big dark cherry flavors with a hint of peppery spice, leather, chocolate and black olives. Oak (16 months French & American) is well integrated. Deep violet color and balanced tannins. Good QPR.
