WINE DESCRIPTION
The Imperial Rioja Reserva is a full-bodied and velvety red wine produced in Spain's Rioja region. It is made from a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Graciano grapes, and aged in oak barrels for at least two years. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruit, toasted oak, and warm spices. On the palate, it is well-balanced, with flavors of dark cherry, licorice, and toasted almonds. The finish is long, with slight hints of forest floor and vanilla. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses.
