| Description: | 86% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano, 6% Carignan & 2% Garnacha. Cvne (Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espana), which has been a leader in Rioja since 1879,started working with the owners of the Contino estate in 1973 to establish a Rioja "chateau," akin to those of Bordeaux. The vineyards are all located in the Rioja Alavesa subregion, which benefits from high altitude and a combination Atlantic-Mediterranean climate. James Suckling 95 Points - "Black cherries with cedar and dried flowers, as well as dusty earth. Its medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins that are long and polished. Lots of structure. Very typical and focused. ". Wine Enthusiast 95 Points - "This deep-ruby-colored wine has a bouquet of black cherry, clove and butterscotch. It is surprisingly soft on the palate, with filigree tannins and flavors of ripe summer cherry, blackberry, milk chocolate, fennel bulb and violet. Mike DeSimone" |
