This bottle showed more bright cranberry fruit than I remembered- the spicy pasta drew out the Grenache!

Not our favorite Rioja, but still good. Ben doesn't really like it.

This peppery, light rioja is as good as you get for the price. Had it with Detroit style pizzas and it paired so well with tomato sauce.

Wow, really great for twice the price (only $13? at K&L). Spicy, bold.

This lovely bottle is going down with roasted pork, polenta with portobello mushrooms. Great pairing.

No nose to speak of. Nice red currant fruit, moderate acidity, modest soft tannins. A light, simple wine, but tasty.
