WINE DESCRIPTION

Lan Culmen Reserva Rioja is a full-bodied red wine from Rioja, Spain. A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo, this wine is aged for at least 18 months in American oak barrels. On the palate, it has a complex bouquet of blackberries, cassis, dark cherries, vanilla, and smoky, spicy notes. The tannins are well-integrated, giving the wine a smooth, round finish. This is an excellent example of a classic Rioja, which will pair well with a variety of dishes, including roasted meats and grilled vegetables.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Lan Culmen Reserva Rioja is a bold and concentrated Spanish red with a dark ruby color and aromas of ripe dark fruits, herbs, spices and earthy notes.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and juicy, with flavors of blackberry, raspberry, cedar, and clove. The tannins are well-integrated, soft but silky, and the finish is long and lingering. Enjoy this complex and harmonious Rioja with hearty meats or hard cheeses.
