“Medium-bodied on the palate with a nicely toasty edge that mingles well with the juicy, savory fruit. Pretty long and expressive finish.”
TASTING NOTES | Bright raspberry and cherry aromas highlight this medium-bodied, classic style Rioja. These red fruit flavors carry over to the palate, picking up smoky and tobacco notes in addition to vanilla accents. The wine is smooth and generous, finding balance between sweet and bitter, plush and structured.
