Tasting Notes

Classic Rioja aromatics of dried cherry, leather, tobacco, and vanilla from American oak. Elegant and silky with beautiful aging character.

Our Review

The 904 is one of the great value wines of the world. Extended aging in American oak gives it the haunting complexity of wines costing ten times the price. An absolute benchmark.
