covila produces mostly good-quality affordable rioja wines, but with this bottling the winery has stepped it up a notch. aromas of raisin, graphite, prune, vanilla and coconut are ripe and oaky. a chunky, blocky, ripe palate holds blackberry and cassis flavors that come with notes of dried herbs. chewy tannins and peppery spice push a bold finish. drink through 2022.
