Sierra Cantabria - Rioja - Gran Reserva

Description

Overview: The Tempranillo comes from old proprietary vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra of the Rioja DOCa, and were all planted before 1980 upon calcareous clay with gravel. The fruit is entirely hand-harvested before a careful selection occurs on a double sorting table. Fermentation occurs under temperature control vessels with indigenous yeast, before the wine ages for 24 months in French and American oak, of which 25% is new. 

Tasting Notes: Dark ruby to the eye, this wine offers aromas of dark berries, milk chocolate and fennel. Cassis, blackberry, dark-chocolate, clove and lavender flavors are cloaked in a sheath of plush tannins that evaporate into an enduring, spice-scented finish.

Pairing: Marinated olives

Points: 95, Wine Enthusiast

Format/ABV: 750 ml/14.50%
