		<description><![CDATA[I have been meaning to try this Rioja wine for some time and in the last week I have tried it in two vintages.  Both were impressive, but the 2007 could use a little more time in bottle to achieve a better balance.  Predicador is the inexpensive wine that Benjamin Romeo brought onto the market [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Roda Reserva 2004 from Rioja is the wine I have consumed most over the past year.  I love to change the wines I put in my tastings constantly….otherwise I get bored!  The Roda, however, has been the exception…it is the consistently the favorite wine in my line-ups of eight wines from all over Spain.  The [...]]]></description>

At the crianza level there is usually enough fruit in both classic and modern to satisfy the majority of palates, but at the reserva [...]]]></description>
