Why We Love This Wine

Dark garnet in color with purple tinged hues, the nose opens up with fragrant dark berry fruit, perfumed violet florals, & sweet vanilla aromas. On the palate, it displays a full mouthfeel & silky tannins with emergent dark fruit flavors. Pair this lovely Rioja Reserva with an All Meat or Sausage & Mushroom Pizza, Spanish Tapas, Lengua Estofado, or Callos ala Madrilena.
