Really beautiful Reserva that bends towards the earthy side of things. 95% Tempranillo and 5% Manuela and Garnacha. That 5% makes a difference because it brings out the fruit, otherwise it’s be less dimensional. Nice dark red color with slight browning on the edge. A good floral bouquet that features violets rather heavily along with dark cherries. Lots of vanilla too. Ripened black cherries, caramel, a touch of iron. Has some heat and spices.

Excellent rioja. Drank with Smiths week before the close. Wonderful wine and pairing. Depths and waves of earthy flavor.

Flavorful light style of Rioja. This Rioja was very juicy and fruit-forward, and was filled with a complex set of flavors. Highly recommended and a good value.
