Tart and snappy, with cranberry and cherry skin aromas. There is little body or richness to speak of; instead, this light number dishes distant fruit flavors along with vanilla and resin.

In a sea as big as Rioja, there are going to be a few fish not worth catching. This is one of them. It has gritty, mildly cooked aromas and then snappy, tart flavors. Lean and crisp across the tongue.

An ordinary but competent Rioja. The fruit is light but young and fresh; the palate touches on raspberry and plum. A bit of mineral and natural bitterness work the finish, and overall this is a no-complaints kind of $10 wine.

Warm and earthy at first, but more soupy as it opens. Crisp, snappy red-fruit flavors are also on the herbal side. Nervy yet it does show a reasonable amount of honest Rioja quality. Still, for a 2001 reserva it doesn’t amount to much.

Leafy and peppery on the nose, with light red-fruit aromas and some citrus peel. It runs more lean and spicy than anything, with hints of tomato leaf, fennel and sausage.
