Really impressive- particularly QPR: very smooth suave stylish w/gorgeous cherry fruit, sweet spices and well-integrated acidity pushing favors thru to lingering finish. This is international style Rioja and really delivers!

Delicious! Paired with goat cheese pasta - can’t even remember when I bought this but it was tasty. Lightly fruity. Not jammy.

I adored this wine - $18 on Wine.com right now! It’s insane! Special thanks to Sam for recommending it. Juicy red fruit, black pepper, underbrush, bonfire... I guess it’s a little on the lighter side (which might disappoint fans of big Tempranillo tannins) but that only means it’s a perfect wine for grilled burgers in the summer.

Awful. Tastes like battery acid, not Rioja.
