Top Notes For
Two Forks and a Corkscrew

We both thoroughly enjoyed this Rioja. Make sure to give this wine time to open. This is a medium-heavy bodied wine that is smooth with a bit of texture. Notes of cherry, blackberry, and plum are followed by earthy herbs, tobacco, and licorice. The finish is not very long, but overall a great wine. Read our full review here: http//wp.me/p5EPbt-6E

Suggest this be enjoyed with some hearty food. Far too bold to be had without. Enjoyable, but there are better Rioja's at this price point

Dark fruit, medium body, and high in tannins. I enjoyed this blend with a sirloin tip dinner!

Smooth, dark fruits really show out in this Tempranillo mix.

A traditional style Rioja blended with farms ha and graciano. Nose still a bit closed, tannins apparent but not intrusive. The wine has lots of acid, best consumed with food. Kicks the butt of your average $12 red and has a pedigree that most of the others don't.

Well made Rioja, juicy yet not confected. Gentle tannins, ageing gracefully, just enough complexity to keep things interesting,
very drinkable!

2008 Vintage. I love this wine, primarily for the value, but there is subtle complexity that makes it a great. Buy it up if you can find it.
