Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Clean and bright with a medium robe and a ruby ??red color. On the nose it is complex with aromas of red fruits, sweet spices with a balsamic background. After a powerful attack the sensation of soft, supple volume gradually extends across the palate for a creamy finish. The aftertaste reminds you of the red berry fruit mingled with hints of wild herbs.

In Rioja this wine is enjoyed with one of our most notorious and simple dishes: Patatas a la riojana, a hearty potatoes and chorizo-based stew. It is a great wine for Sunday roast, stews, goose or turkey.

    Very pretty reserva with berry, chocolate and light vanilla aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fine tannins and a juicy, fruity aftertaste. Drink now or hold.

    Dark garnet to the eye, this wine has a nose of black plums and graphite with a touch of bell pepper. There is a good mix of fruit and savory notes, particularly flavors of cranberry, black cherry, white chocolate, roasted yellow pepper and thyme. Rigid tannins coat the tongue and gums and then recede as bright fruit returns on the finish.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.

Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
