ark in color, with dynamite bacon, boysenberry and lavender aromas. Quite a saturated wine, with smoke and earth surrounding cola and dried fruit. This is killer Rioja, one with all the trimmings. There's racy spice, pencil lead and push. Sensationally snazzy and stylish.

This supple red offers smoky, spicy and bright cherry flavors on a lean frame. It's firm enough to match with food. Drink now through 2006. 500 cases imported.
