Country: Spain / Solnia
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Ilurce / Rioja
Earthy and rubbery on the nose, and rather dark for a $10 Rioja. The palate is jammy and solid, with berry flavors, a hint of toast and heat. The finish is somewhat burning, but overall it’s a legit blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha that fits the “value” mold.
