Very nice Rioja - smooth, with great fruit notes at the front & hints of vanilla toward the very end finish notes.

A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha wine shows aromas of dark fruits and spice. The palate shows sweet cherry and blackberry flavors with vanilla spice, some toasted wood and leather. The finish shows grainy tannins, with good mouthfeel and medium length ending.

This was pretty good, nothing special. But also we were a few bottles deep at this point so my opinion might be a bit skewed. Would like to try again but no rush

Nothing fancy but good for the price point. Not a hint of dryness and a little vanilla and oak.

Bold, spicy, dark fruit, woodsy, not my thing.

Had 2014 in January of 2018. Typical Rioja. Hints of fruit and acidity. Tannins and hints of spice. Very approachable. Would buy again.

$10-$12. Full bodied, a lot of flavor
