| Varietal | Rioja Crianza | |||
| Region | Spain: Rioja | |||
| Notes | "Smoke- and mineral-accented red berry preserve, cherry-cola and floral scents on the highly perfumed nose. Fleshy and concentrated in the mouth, offering energetic raspberry, cola and bitter chocolate flavors and an exotic, sweetening touch of vanilla. Shows excellent clarity and thrust on the long, smooth finish, which is framed by fine-grained, rounded tannins." (Josh Raynolds, Vinous) | |||
Additional Notes "Plum, licorice, cocoa and loamy earth flavors mingle in this round red. The plush texture conceals firm tannins. There's enough acidity to keep this fresh. Ripe but balanced. Drink now through 2025. 10,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported." (Wine Spectator) |
