WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
This 2015 Rioja Reserva is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha, and 5% Graciano from Finca el Monte. The vines used have a minimum age of 70 years. The wine undergoes a 15-day skin contact period to extract color and tannins. It is then aged for 18-22 months in a combination of second use American oak and new French oak barrels. This results in a well-structured wine with flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, vanilla, and balsamic.
