“A 'modern' Rioja with vinous rather than fruity flavours and an appealingly mellow texture. Made from 60% Tempranillo, 20% Grenache, and 20% Graciano. Mellow, medium-bodied Rioja with savoury, baked earth, dried herbs, vanilla, violet and subtle spicy oak flavours. A good example of well-made Rioja at a competitive price. A popular wine on many counts.” - Bob Campbell MW
Modern expression of a classic blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. Bags of juicy red and black fruits, framed with velvety tannins, and just a light kiss of oak.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
