May 30th, 2020The bottle was slightly corked, yet one coukd recognize the raspberry and flowery touch of a cooler climate Garnacha.

Sep 9th, 2017Vintage 2017 | I am fond of frivolous young Rioja, but seldom recognize them blind. To be honest, that frivolity and some raspberry in smell made me think: a Cru de Beaujolais. But this Rioja has its own qualities. Some cacao in taste, tannins still, good balance. Have to drink more of it to recognize.

Dec 4th, 2014bright ruby. Sweet strawberry. Darker and less confected than most grenache. High acid. Quaffable. Could confuse with pinot.
