Dry and fiery, with leaf and herb aromas going head to head with light raspberry. The palate has some depth and sweetness to it, and at the core it’s showing cherry, plum and spice flavors. True to the blueprint of traditional Rioja but not a lot beyond the basics. Imported by Frontier Wine Imports.

Stemmy and rough out of the blocks, with aromas of rubber and strawberry. Seems grabby in the mouth due to rather rough tannins and high acidity, and overall the wine seems forced but lacking in the essentials. Quite expensive given the result. Imported by Frontier Wine Imports.

For an old-school highlight, look for this lesser known selection-based Reserva, because good grapes from a good year should add up to good wine. And in this case, the wine is better than good; it’s ripe, spicy, chocolaty and pushes all the right buttons. A sure thing with the right foods: meats, stews, etc.

This is a nice, traditionally styled Rioja. Delivers smooth, earthy, leathery aromas and then spicy dry fruit that’s right out of Rioja 101. With good acidity, it’s a very respectable table wine from a weak vintage.

Having never tasted Heras Cordon’s wines, the verdict is in: the current releases are all winners. This basic Reserva is lighter in frame, buttery and full of dill and red fruit; with air it settles to show ripe strawberry and raspberry notes as well as good structure. Perfect for drinking now.
