Winery Review: (100% Tempranillo, raised entirely in
American oak): Vivid ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the
mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy.
Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip.
Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of
decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja.
Personal Review:I faintly smelled black current in the wine upon first swirl. I tasted it, the wine was sweet. It had a distinct taste at the beginning, that I did not enjoy. The finish was better. The wine was a dry. I enjoyed the taste, however, I do not think that I would purchase this wine. I
did not pair it with food.
