Pretty solid Crianza for the price. Fruit, acid and tannin all in check.

$13. Good tannin, medium body a little sour in the finish. Would not buy again

Didn't care for this at all. I can't even explain what I didn't like about it- just too woody.

who can complain about this food friendly Rioja. A refined light body with modest backbone that works well with the grill or even tomato accented fish dishes

Lots of fruit, very smooth and the right amount of body to go with lighter meats. Still a Rioja favorite and great value.
