Winery Review: "(100% Tempranillo, raised entirely in American oak): Vivid ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja." - 90
My Review: This wine was lighter than the Cotes du Rhone but it had a very woody flavor. The tannins came through at the finish and was very dry. It was also still to bitter for my taste and I did not get that sweet finish that the winery review describes.
I did not have this wine with food.
