($21): Befitting a Rioja Reserva, there’s healthy dose of savory non fruit flavors that adds complexity and balances the red and black fruitiness of this Tempranillo-based wine.  Indeed, it’s the earthy quality in this mid-weight traditionally framed wine that is captivating.  Its moderate tannic structure and uplifting acidity means it is better on the table with spiced Spanish cuisine or even a simply grilled hanger steak than as a stand-alone glass of red
