Winery review: Antaño Reserva is a ruby red cherry wine of Rioja, with iridescences in tile color, shows an intense aroma of vanilla, mature fruits and leather. In the mouth is very soft, tasty and easy to drink. The retronasal sensation is complex and persistence.

My review: The nose on this wine was not very bold but it had subtle hints of cherry. The body of this red was very light and watery. On the finish, the wine was extremely dry. It left me wanting for something else. The server suggested that it may be better if paired with steak and I agree. 

I tried this wine without food.
