Really hazy dark dull purple. Nose of leather, metallic rustic notes, graphite, and no apparent fruit notes. So I decide to let it breathe. After 20 minutes of breathing, some strawberries notes show up, some cherry, and hotness from alcohol too, but still not too impressive. Taste of strawberries, some plum, cherry, polished acidity, and silky mouthful. This is the highlight of the tasting. Aftertaste is dominated by zest of orange or grapefruit peel, peppery, and medium short. A Grenache with good leather note is something that registered in my brain. After an hour of breathing, the wine does pull herself together, as sweet and hickory plum note and cherry mix well with the original metallic note. — 9 years ago

Beautiful nearly opaque garnet color. Tannins with some black cherry and dried cranberries and some tartness that turns to mellow tannins on the back and sides of the tongue. light on the nose, — 10 years ago
Frankincense and myrrh, I feel like I am in a manger scene hanging out with some kings. Toast, roasted wood and oaky aromas open up to spice seasoning with a lashing of salt and acidity. Made in a solera style from multiple vintages this is a unique wine in every way. A heady Viura Rioja blanco experience, I highly recommend it. #newschoolrioja — 10 years ago

12 months in barique, 6 bottles in case, sales for $41.00 about. Pungeant nose, very earthy, wet wool, red fruit, Akilia comes from the word Aguila in Latin. Lots of strawberries and red fruits, very well balanced. 8/10 a bit expensive — 13 years ago
Established in 1969, in Carneros in Napa Valley, cooled by fog from the San Pablo Bay. Ruby with red fruit aromas and floral scents. On the palate raspberry and strawberry fruit with baking spice and woody notes. Savory tannins, smooth and refreshing on lingering ending. Very nice. — 9 years ago
