There is a fresh wind blowing across Rioja winemaking, and this wine is a harbinger of the New Wave of Spanish wines. Very traditional foundation, but very modern in technique. Ripe fruit flavors surround the lean core we expect from Tempranillo. Oak influence is subdued and supportive.

Great complex floral bouquet, delicious red fruit flavors with nuanced notes of cedar and toasty oak. Very food friendly from paella to pork chops.

"This plump red offers black cherry, light chocolate and licorice notes, juicy and supple, with light, firm tannins. Bright, fresh and accessible. Drink now through 2010. 35,000 cases made.–TM" -Rated 87, Wine Spectator
