The bodega is located in the Carravacas estate (Laguardia) in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa. 100% Tempranillo and aged in 100% French Oak. Dark red with aromas of sweet Red berry fruits and beautiful floral spice. On the palate raspberry and blackberry flavors with vanilla spice and notes of cacao. Well balanced with lively acidity, soft tannins will only get better, lingering ending with sweet fruit and spice character. Nice! Tasting Sample! — 7 years ago

Raspberry, cherry, hint of cola. Very smooth and medium length finish. Excellent with my garlic, sage bone-in pork chops (with sides of scallops and sugar snap peas). Found by Duffy. Last few bottles of this vintage in OK. — 8 years ago
Lemon curd, quince, greenish apples, oak which pushed the acidity to the background. ...a delicious wine. Blind, for a half second Meaursault crossed my mind. Was stoked to find this at a restaurant in Laguna last yr being sold at retail price. Had to buy a 2nd to take home. Score! — 9 years ago

Situated on a picturesque site with rolling vineyards bordered by the Laguna de Santa Rosa watershed.
Deep red with aromas of red berry fruit and sweet spices. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with tea, vanilla, cinnamon and pepper spices, with cola tones. Fine tannins with balanced acidity carry this rich wine to a lingering finish. Will age well for another decade. Nice! — 6 years ago
Massive, sexy fruit-forward Pinot Noir from Zio Tony vineyard in the heart of Laguna Ridge. Good vintages of this cuvée are on par with the Cohn in my opinion, and this might be my favorite one yet. On night 3 this really opened up and showed some brooding dark berries, cola and sandalwood, laced with earth and spice. Already quite layered and complex, but needs a year or two in Bottle to show more defined flavors. Big oak tannins are still prevalent. Outstanding effort from an unusually low yielding harvest, this wine has some serious future ahead of it. — 7 years ago
