Very mild and smooth wine. Nice to have around for when you don't want to uncork the fancy stuff

A lovely wine and a great value but not in the traditional style. Not a lay up to call this Tempranillo. But a slam dunk to call it enjoyable.

Bright red cherry and licorice on nose. Showcases round ample fruit in mouth with soft tannins and lingering finish.

Not a fave, and I have a couple of bottles of it. Drinkable but no depth to it. Pretty blah. Probably will use the other bottle for cooking.

Fruity and dry, yet not as dry as some Riojas, though I've had a few that were better. I enjoyed this one.
