Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak. 4 grape blend from some of CVNE's best vineyards in the Rioja Alta (85% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), aged in both French and American oak for 24 months. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, vanilla, tobacco & toasty oak tones. Soft full ripe tannins, wonderful balance, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Very nice!

Not bad from the Co-op 😂 to be fair a classy wine with some great ageing potential. Some prominent vanilla but smooth and very quaffable

Beautiful balance of red fruit, prominent tannin and length. No more than med bodied - this could be a pinot but for the tannin. Very food
