Black cherry, tobacco and vanilla flavors mingle in this supple red. It has enough tannins for grip, and a fresh finish. Drink now through 2007. 3,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

Forward and a touch racy, with moderate sweetness on the bouquet. Runs juicy and tight, with fresh, almost tart raspberry and cherry flavors. Offers the basics and not much more, but it’s a balanced wine made in the traditional style, meaning it’s dry, acidic and medium-bodied.——M.S.(11/1/2006)—— 86
