Tart - Apple/grapefruit taste. Excellent with cheese and crackers. Roast pork with a pear based sauce and roasted carrots. Very enjoyable! — 2 months ago

2020 fall. This might be my favorite (at least for immediate enjoyment) among the wines guzzled on our recent Rioja binge. It’s open-knot, with lots of red fruit and spices like mace, but also has typical mature notes - that mushroom and cheese thing. At the same time, it doesn’t feel overly developed - it’s just layered. — 4 years ago

Deep red, nose is earthy with ripe plum or cherry, full body with ripe cherry, but not sweet. Goes great with a goat cheese stuffed ravioli and a complex tomato sauce. — 4 years ago

15 person Champagne tasting with friends.

We inserted what we all feeling is more or less the gold standard of n/v Rose’ to pair with duck and goat cheese on crostinis. — 7 months ago

Medium plus body. Silky vanilla finish. Very nice for at 13.9%. Enjoy as a wine with a cheese board on into a lamb stew or other heavier main courses — 5 years ago

Decanted 8 hours!
My tip that is a minimum. Now at 12 hours and a palate that is influenced by meat and cheese the wine starts to blossom. Cherry, cinnamon, vanilla and some almond paste. Nice rioja this is. — 3 years ago

Strong diacetyl notes and rich, smooth oak flavor. Full bodied. Creamy with vanilla highlights. Goes well with a heavier cream pasta dish, soft cheese, poultry, pork, or simply on its own! — 4 years ago
