Wine Critic Review: "Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather, spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla and woodspice flavors finish pure, clean and easy. This is a fine yet manageable Rioja that’s not trying too hard. Drink through 2016."
My Review: This smelled a bit like cherries, which reminded me of "cheerwine" a little bit. This was definitely not as sugary, actually it was quite dry. I've discovered that I tend to enjoy Tempranillo, and that held true with this wine as well. I did not have food with this wine.
