Very fruit forward, with dark cherry/berry with earthy tones! Finishes smoothly!

Nice blend of tempranillo (75%), cabernet (15%) & syrah (10%). Cab seems to dominate in body & pepper.

That’s nice. Tempranillo Cab Blendage. Slight touch of age. Soft, supple. Drink me bitches.

Well balanced wine. Dark fruits and dusty tannins. More than medium body but not heavy.

A blend of 70% Tempranillo, 13% Cabernet and 17% Syrah (unusual grape in the region, not permitted by the neighboring Ribera del Duero appellation). Red fruit, some leather. Balanced, long, silky. Spectacular.

Super nice value wine. Recommended by the Somm and had a beautiful spice note and complexity. Tannins didn't kill us. I'd buy this all day.

Incredible manchego cheese nose. Barnsy with ample fruit and acidity.

nice long finish - robust with rich spices and a good balance between fruit and tannins.
