90pts International Wine Review– 2018 vintage

Pale pale salmon. This is yet another very attractive 100% Garnacha from Spain, in this case Rioja. It has a nose of red strawberry with a touch of tangerine and offers a soft attack. The palate shows riper flavors and excellent balance with a creamy mouth feel.

89pts Vinous– 2018 vintage

Shimmering pink. Dried red berries, orange zest and a floral element on the perfumed nose. Dry and fleshy in the mouth, offering red currant, bitter cherry and blood orange flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. A spicy white pepper note emerges on the nicely persistent finish, which leaves a tangy citrus zest note behind.
