So so. I didn’t realize this was solely a Grenache wine. I also didn’t know Grenache was produced in Marche. It was nice but nothing memorable. For $90 at a resto, way overpriced. — 4 months ago

Love it. Though big, bold, and high al at 14.5%, a great example of a rioja w some age. Prob could age much longer. Very tart fruit. Fruit better defined day one vs day two. For $40, definitely worth it. Why ever drink a 2yr old CA cab and pay $100+??!! — 5 months ago
