This wine is from small family wine maker from Rioja Alavesa region. he is modernist so he uses less barrel aging and more fruit. Unlike traditionalists he uses French oak barrels. 50% for Crianza and 100% for Reserva row. It is very nice Rioja, although it is 2004 vintage it has excellent fruit in it of black overripe cherries with good underppining of black chocolate. It is interesting to compare it to his Crianza tasted here in September this year.
