This is a nice value red from the Rioja region of Spain. It retails for around $16 which is a great price for a nice red. Ruby/purple in color. The nose is dusty with cherries. On the palate, there are cherries and some tobacco. Slight tannins. Good balance. There is some depth/complexity here but this is not a wine to be aged. That said, if well stored it should be good for at least five more years. Works well with a wide variety of food.
