The producer is an offshoot of the celebrated Bodegas Roda of Rioja. With a deep colour and ripe fruits this wine also has fine tannins and a good body but with an underlying freshness to it all. Flavours of blackberries, cherries, a hint of soft cream from the oak and fresh herby notes of pine and marjoram give buckets of complexity. It's all very well balanced and signs off with a lingering lengthy finish.
