Winery Review: "(100% Tempranillo, raised entirely in American oak): Vivid ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja."

The wine tasted rubbery, which overwhelmed my palate, along with slight flavor of cranberry. The wine was very tannic and made my mouth dry. I did not have this wine with any food. I did not enjoy this wine at all and would definitely not buy it.
