This is a stylish Rioja aged entirely in French oak, which tends to bring a bit more lifted spice and textural...
Violets, cherries, red currants sit atop wet earth. Chewy tannins with a food friendly astringency, rustic charm....

This 100% Tempranillo has a modern, medium-high intensity nose of vanilla, oak spice, and tobacco wrapped around a core of red berry, cherry, and blackberry aromas, all of which come through on the nicely on the mid-weighted and dry palate. It has very good acidity and is supported by supple, well-structured tannins. Earthy notes linger on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Sept. 2023.
