Great Rioja, well balanced and hits a lot of the flavors I like. — 5 years ago
Very dry and acidic. Full of flavor with rich complexity, leading with blackberries and ending with coffee, oak and caramel. Best with red meat or other heavy food to cut through the acidity. — 6 years ago
A solid bottle for how cheap it is. Rustic tannin and tangy red fruit creates a solid poundable bottle. — 7 years ago
Nice Spanish wine. Fruity; tannins are harsh when first opened but mellows after it gets some air. — 7 years ago
Lovely. Just what I like. Medium bodied and more to the mellow tart side. Very drinkable — 8 years ago
Very nice red wine to open and enjoy without food. I enjoy tempernillo, carmenere, Zinfandel. This is a winner. — 5 years ago
Spice, dark berry, plum, black licorice, beautiful acidity — 5 years ago
This is great for a 12%. Nice bite and backbeat. A little more mineral than a vino verde but just as smooth. — 6 years ago
Needs a day or very thorough decanting to show best. Sour cherry, berry stem and a touch of Indian spices on the nose. Sour, almost limoncello like initially on the tongue, followed by stone fruit and a touch of rosemary. The limoncello and rosemary give it a sense of heat, although it's only 13.5abv. This is chorizo and olives' natural tango partner. — 7 years ago
Founded by Guillermo Eguren, who is a self-made "bodeguero", coming from a family tradition of vine growers. Made from 100% Tempranillo, Ruby with fresh aromas of red fruits with sharp spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry with toasty oak notes, well balanced. Tangy citrus finish with cedar and tobacco on lively ending. Tremendous value, aged well, you will be impressed as I am! Good now but will improve over short term aging! A Fav!!! — 7 years ago

Eguren Ugate’s attempt at reviving a historical variety from Rioja, maturana. Fresh, intense wine hitting with black fruit l, a little spiciness. Sharp tannins indicate some aging would help. Really pleasant wine. — 7 years ago
A little more sweetness and big flavour than the Real Compania de Vinos — 8 years ago
