Winemaker Notes: "Deep ruby red in color with a good aromatic intensity showing forest fruits such as blackberries, redcurrants and wild fruits. On the palate the red fruits characteristic of Tempranillo dominates along with floral notes. Barrel ageing gives a lightly spiced touch and a long, balanced finish.
This is an ideal wine to enjoy with Mediterranean foods, pasta, rice, cured ham as well as all types of cheeses and meat dishes."

Wine Folly: pg.117 general Grenache- Wine Folly lists stewed strawberry, grilled plum, leather, dried herbs, and blood orange. It also lists a higher alcohol content, medium tannins, low sweetness, good body, and medium acidity.
pg.175 general Tempranillo- The book lists aromas of cherry, dried fig, cedar, tobacco, and dill for tempranillo. It also says that this grape has a medium body, alcohol, acidity, and tannins. The book also states that it has a very low sweetness.
My Review: This was a very good wine! I enjoyed the fact that it had lots of fruity aromas in it. I got lots of wild berries like blackberry in this Rioja blend. I would recommend serving this wine with a spicy steak dish because the red fruit would balance out the spice.
