2014 vintage. Absolutely lovely, especially for the price. Very dry, full bodied.

Deep ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherry, earthy, eucalyptus, licorice, plum, and violet. Medium-plus body, with full, grainy tannins and medium-plus acidity. Engaging nose, smooth palate, long finish. A solid, well-made Rioja that's drinking beautifully now. Blend of Tempranillo (95%) and Graciano (5%).
