Good classic rioja, strawberry tobacco and mud with american oak. Elegant, lightweight and suave on palate, lots of flavor for size and price. Just a bit more oak than ideal for me. Still, excellent!

The less attractive little brother of one of my favorite wine...the faulting in the grey bottle with the netting $45. a million times better after it's been in the fridge for 20 min. perfect everyday drinker...but not fair to compare to the higher quality version.
