From Bodegas Navajas, this basic Rioja shows savory barbecued aromas along with brambly fruit notes, while the flavor profile veers toward red fruits and tomato leaf. Light in terms of mouthfeel, with some finishing oak flavor. A fresh sort of wine.

Not much color, but a lot of aromatics in the form of milk chocolate, sawdust and coconut. Broad and woody on the palate, with light fruit flavors. A bunch more wood and butter comes forth on the finish. Leaves a somewhat leafy, wanting impression.

Heavy and green, with nutty, leathery aromas. Rather candied and less than fresh in the mouth, with a weedy underbelly on the palate. Finishes herbal, minty and burnt, but with a lot of size and power.

Wheat and corn aromas announce the soft, oaky personality that this wine brings to the table. Grainy and heavily oaked, it sits on toast, vanilla and creamy, buttery flavors without offering any serious fruit or style.
