"Medium garnet in color, this wine offers a nose of black currant, raspberry and thyme. It is soft on the palate, with velvet tannins and flavors of black cherry, strawberry, cocoa powder and caramel. There is an undertone of bright fruit that lasts from first sip through the satisfying finish" Wine Enthusiast
"A classic, mellow, mature Rioja that’s great drinking for the price" Steve Bennett, Master of Wine, Importer
Tempranillo grapes were carefully picked at optimum ripeness, from vines aged up to 50 years old. The resulting wine has layers of complex aromas and flavours. Plum, raspberry and mature red fruits blend harmoniously with vanilla and spice characteristics resulting from three years of oak ageing in American and French barrels. The palate is smooth, well-balanced and full of elegant flavours.
El Domador del Valle – The Valley Tamer – is named for the master winemaker harnessing the terrain, climate and feral wildness of Rioja’s ancient landscape. Produced by famous family-owned Rioja producer Bodega Muriel, founded in 1926 by José Murúa Villaverde and today run by Julián Murúa and his son, Javier.

Best tempranillo I've tasted. Not the cheapest, but worth the extra dollars.
