Winery Review: 90 Points – Wine Enthusiast
Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather,
spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this
is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum,
raspberry, vanilla and woodspice flavors finish pure, clean and easy. This is a
fine yet manageable Rioja that’s not trying too hard. Drink through 2016.
My Review: This
wine had a lovely aroma of roses, cherries and beats, very floral and
fruity. The wine had a heavy tannin
structure with a slight spice finish, like cherry black tea. The texture was dry and soft. I tasted cherries and a blend of dark
berries. This wine would pair well with a
steak.
