Professional Review:
"(100% Tempranillo, raised entirely in American oak): Vivid ruby. Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja."

My Review:
This wine was dark red in color. It had a mahogany/woody nose. I could taste the oak in the wine, but it was not overwhelming. It had a smooth finish and a little tang. I think this wine would go well with pork, and not just bacon. I would recommend it.
