Shop review: “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.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)
My review: This wine had a rich ruby/purple color. It had a fruity, jammy smell, full of berries
and cherries. The taste was nice,
well-balanced, and very smooth. It was
slightly creamy, and overall a most enjoyable wine that could be enjoyed with
or without food.
I did not drink this with food.
