Black cherry, blueberry pie, powder and pepper, mold on oak, bread crumbs, pie crust, more fruity than I was expecting but still well balanced with bright acidity. Really good.

3.4. Rich, full-bodied, earthy Reserve Rioja. Very nice blend of earth flavors and fruit, with smooth tannins. On sale for $18.04, regularly $21.99. In 2019, the 2012 vintage was as good as ever, still a 3.4. now on sale for $19.99, regularly $22.99. In October 2021, the 2016 vintage is just as good, now on sale for $18.99, regularly $21.99.
