Love those old Riojas that always seem to be a great value with lots of earthiness and complexity.

Affordable. Light and airy. Cork with wax added a bit of style. Gave one bottle away after confirming it was as good as could be expected in this price range. — 8 years ago

What can I say? Rodney Strong is always acceptable in a pinch. Looking forward to tasting the 2012 reserve but this 2013 cab is AOK for the price. — 9 years ago

I haven’t thought about “uncomplex” to describe wine but I like it for a lighter white like Pinot Gris.

Fairly well balanced but not as good, even in 2012 vintage, as the younger 1883 Wente from 2013. — 9 years ago

Not as well balanced as I would like. Strong tannin on the tongue and noticeable smell of alcohol on the nose. — 9 years ago

My Father-in-Law brought four bottles of this to enjoy. Kind of a buttery finish. Had it with pork chops last night and it paired nicely. — 8 years ago

Seems perfectly balanced to me. Was able to get a bottle of this beauty at Kroger for $14.95 plus tax. What a steal. — 8 years ago

Faint smell of alcohol layered on top of stale vanilla. Long tannin finish is kind of chewy. — 9 years ago

Maybe the aroma is tar, but it reminds me of black vinyl seats from my dad's 1970's Buick Electra. Smooth taste although better served with a little chill. When warm, tastes a little acidic. Enjoying it right now! — 9 years ago
