Nice dry with minimal ‘cab’ bite…smooth and round — 2 months ago
Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of cherries, tabacco, and dried blueberries; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, high tannins, medium body, high alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of dried cherries, wet gravel, and cedar with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, is rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. Actually paired well with Chinese food. — 25 days ago
Punchy crowpleaser: heavy, almost syrupy body with strong, bold flavors of oaky vanilla, ripe black cherry, and cinnamon spice. Smooth and round mouthfeel. Not terribly complex but a joy to drink. — 2 months ago
The best wine I’ve ever had for $13. — 9 months ago
Really enjoyable oaked Rioja, normally I go for an un-oaked variety to pair with oysters. Very smooth and silky with a hint of white stone fruit on the palette and a nice oaky finnish but still fresh! — a month ago

Such a fun, drinkable wine. Nice color. Great way to start a meal. Subtle, non-confrontational. A bit of fruit. Opens up after a few minutes in the bottle. — 8 months ago

Tasted blind , my wine … after having the other two this was easy ! Medium deep ruby touch of garnet with quite a thin ruby garnet rim . Quite spice tinged nose with , deep cherry , plum and some blackberry . Quite young and reserved , with quite a bit of vanilla , grafite . On the palate this is again quite spiced with dark fruits , plum , cherry, some blackberry , grafite , earthy , coffee touches . Balanced fresh acidity and quite grippy , dry tannins. Good mineral tinged spiced cherry finish . Pretty young still , needs a bit of time but good length and balance. Wait another 5-10 years and will drink well a further 10 . Quite promising. — 11 days ago
