Made from 100% Tempranillo, this wine spent 16 months in American oak barrels. It is an outstanding example of what can be found in the marketplace for $15.00 a bottle. The wine exhibits a deep ruby color, followed by an impressive, open-knit bouquet of melted chocolate, cherry jam, pepper, herbs, and spices. Thick, with low acidity, excellent density and extract, medium to full body, and a pure, rich, toasty finish, this delicious, round, juicy yet well-delineated Rioja should continue to evolve for 3-4 years, and last for a decade.
