“An instant delight from this true Rioja classic!”

“Made from 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano, aged in two-year-old French and American oak barrels, the 2018 Rioja Reserva boasts a deep purple color and offers a magnificent nose of ripe red and black berries, spicy oak, vanilla, and violet. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, round and supple, it displays the spices and complexity typical of Rioja, ripe tannins, beautiful balance, and exceptional length.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

About the wine:

This wine displays a spicy complexity with aromas of cloves, spiced plum, star anise, black cherry, and warm earth. Firm and dense, with a full body, tight, chewy tannins, and pleasant notes of woody spices. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.
