Occasional Wine Note:Tempranillos from Rioja are just good. Some stand out and this is one of them. Excellent blend of tempranillo and garnacha that like many of the Rioja wines you might try go well with about anything. Cherry and cocoa, balanced tannin and acidity. Delicious!

Aromas of coffee bean, orange zest and black cherry pave the way for blackberry, dark plum, caramel, espresso and mint flavors. Powerful tannins and well-integrated acidity make their way into a cranberry and rose-petal-laced finish. Drink through 2041.
