92pts James Suckling

Fresh black cherries and dark plums with finely roasted spices and a streak of ground cocoa beans and pencil shavings. A juicy, smoothly rendered Rioja with texture and brightness. Medium-bodied and quite drinkable and balanced. Tempranillo. Vegan. Drink or hold.

92pts Wine Enthusiast

This dark ruby colored wine has aromas of cherry preserves, olive tapenade and oregano. It features flavors of black cherry, blackberry jam, bittersweet chocolate, violet and clove. Vigorous tannins coat the tongue and gums and then drop off into a bright, lingering finish.

Winemaker Notes

Garnet in color with a slightly orange rim and a medium layer.

Medium and complex intensity. It perfectly combines the freshness of red fruits such as raspberry and cherry and the complexity of its time in French barrels. Notes of pepper, subtle balsamic.

It enhances and complements a wide variety of cooked and roasted stews, mainly grilled meats, grilled blue fish and white fish in sauce.

Suggestion From Our Chef: Stew.
