100% Grenache. Bright dark fuchsia color. Aromas of ripe red berries, pink flowers and fresh herbs. Flavors of strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate and raspberry with hints of lemon and a bit of fresh thyme. Clean and vibrant medium finish. Bright acidity and intensity. A lively and refreshing taste of summer. Part of Ron B’s Navarra Party. — 3 days ago
Tasted blind. Medium lemon colour. Touch of reduction ? Gun flint , with some toasty notes , lemon peel . On the palate this appears quite structured , with some oak noticable , lemon peel , white peach, slightly buttery notes . Quite a lot of extract . Bit of alcohol noticable , touch of astringency. Ok medium length . This really opened up after a while and showed more Semillon character . Probably even better in a few years , more time for the oak to fully integrate . Will last well a further 5- 10 years or so. — 7 months ago

this is the white rioja.
The nose is flinty at first, with crushed rocks sent and even gun powder. There are stone fruits touches too and white flower notes. The palate is wide, with some acid drive but it's not what defines it, some soft, almost buttery touches all along, some pear and peach, a bit of phenolic grip in the rear before a long finish with that tiny butter note, some pear and peach, and that very soft layer that keeps lingering for a good while. There are layers and dimensions to this white wine and I really enjoy it. It's very well made. Good stuff! — a year ago

100% Graciano. Medium ruby color with some garnet highlights. Aromas of red and black berries, baking spices and wet soil. Flavors of red cherries, strawberries and raspberries with hints of tobacco and those baking spices. Medium (quite earthy) finish and body. Mild texture and well balanced acidity. No sign of oak aging. Very “Beaujolais-like” in style. Extremely fresh tasting. Part of Ron B’s Navarra Party. — 3 days ago
