Bright cherry and raspberry aromas & flavors...attractively juicy. An everyday quaffer that is a good value." Also rated 87 points by Peninguide to Spanish Wine 2007: "Definite complexity of fruit with a well-integrated toasty note of oak.

Earthy, fully ripe classic Rioja aromas of sweet leather, herbs, & a touch of raisin....on the palate, roundness of body and depth of cola, cherry, & plum flavors. Finishes with cocoa, buttered toast, and width.
