A rather traditional reserva with berry, vanilla and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium body with refined tannins and a delicious finish. Drink or hold.

The 2018 Reserva is 92% Tempranillo, 4% Mazuelo and 4% Garnacha, sourced from Rioja Alta and Alavesa. Aged for 22 months in French and American oak barrels, this garnet-hued wine presents blackberry and wild herb notes, complemented by hints of coconut, cedar and vanilla. It is dry, juicy and plush, featuring fine tannins. The palate lingers with a whiff of menthol cough drop. This wine showcases a modern Rioja style with a commercial profile.
