"Deep garnet to the eye, this wine has bold aromas of cherry, raspberry and milk chocolate. A web of plush tannins encases flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, chocolate-covered caramel, violet, clove and a hint of cedar that makes itself known on the enduring finish."

"A spicy and juicy Rioja that has aromas of smoked paprika, cherries, chiles and chocolate. It’s medium-bodied, creamy and very drinkable, with soft tannins."
