The Spanish Quarter Red is a dry, full-bodied wine with strong red fruit and chocolate flavors. It has nice acidity and medium tannins that are reminiscent of Zinfandel. It has a fairly extended finish, perhaps longer than one would normally expect from a red wine of this price.

The flavors of the Palacios Remondo La Vendimia Rioja are dominated by red berries and cherry with just a hint of oak. A full-bodied wine with mild acidity, La Vendimia has soft tannins and a decent length.
