Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 80% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo and 10% Graciano, aromas of berry fruit and spice. Classic Rioja, ripe berry fruit with woodsy vanilla notes, savory tannins, well balanced. Medium finish ending with pepper spice.

If you're looking for a medium bodied red with rich, toasted oak...at a $20 price point. Skip the Cabs, and snag this.

Great tempranillo blend, grand reserva. You get good fruit in the nose of some dried blackberry with hints of cherry, also some hints of cedar and raisin. Nice fullbody!
