Winery review: "91 Points Robert Parker. Beautiful ruby color and a clean, intense nose of wild berries with just enough lactic and spicy notes. The palate shows sweet tannins and good balance, intense and fresh. This is a crowd-pleaser and a great value."

My review: This red wine from the Rioja region in Spain is a solid wine. It was very tasty as it kicked you in the mouth with spicy fruit bombs. The nose on this one is powerful and clean but tempting. Even a novice could taste the tannins on this wonderful spanish wine.
