description: An earthy, bulky wine with aromas of saddle leather, crushed spice and raisin. The palate is snappier than the bouquet, as blackberry and plum fruit show accents of dill, herbs, leather and soy sauce. A legitimate, muscular Rioja made in the so-called modern style. Drink now through 2014.
variety: Tempranillo
designation: Jarrarte
