Surprise Rioja, in that Rioja Alta & Lopez fans( CVNE, Monte Real, & Sierra Cantabria also rate) such as me think solipsistically—nothing else exists. This does.

Delightful. Great value.

So I get it... you saw the 92 point score from Parker and splurged on this for $10 and then when your wife complained that it wasn't The Prisoner you wrote a scathing review (on vivino) about this thin, weak, and 'earthy,' wine with 'too much acidity.'
This is a Rioja in Barbaresco's clothing. Rose petal and tar dominate, with lots of juicy cherry, and a sandstone backdrop. A flutter of garden herbs creeps in over time. This is an excellent value for those who know what they're buying.

Had this awhile back and was unimpressed but it’s really come around: sort of straddling new & old worlds… light to med weight but elegant w/cherries & rose bush, herbs and tomato plant, some leather and spice. Decent complexity and kinda juicy - nice lil quaffer

Fruity and you notes of leather. One of the best values I’ve ever had. For 10 or 12 bucks, it doesn’t get much better.
