Nice entry level Rioja. Blend of grapes (90% Tempranillo and 10 % Graciano) from three Rioja Sub-Regions. Plum and cherry aromas and flavors. Pallet opens up with additional notes of mint and chocolate. Noticeable oak on the finish. Nice balance of weight and acidity. Thank You Ron B!

Traditional Rioja Style Tempranillo. Ruby red color with an orange rim. Ripe red fruit aromas and flavors with notes of rose petals, spices and vanilla. Long finish. Elegant. Thank You Ron B!

Good drink. Lighter bodied. More spice and toffee than fruit. Clean tannins.

A perfect table wine. Above all, cheap. Also fullish bodied, blackberries and red fruits, brick, medium finish. Easy drinking, a bit sugary. Good for something meaty or spicy.

Nice little number but like classic black dresses it's all about the body which fills it... This needs a bit of work in the gym before I purchase it again...

The Grenache gives it a nice body, with a peppery finish.

This was recently bought for me and is a nice easy drinking Rioja. Nothing special but equally nothing bad.
