This 2009 Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Gran Reserva is a stunning example of classic Rioja winemaking. The blend of 94% Tempranillo, 4% Mazuelo, and 2% Graciano creates a vibrant, full-bodied red with notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, spices, and hints of cedar and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is rich and concentrated, with a velvety texture and a long, smooth finish. Aged for 24 months in American and French oak barrels, this Gran Reserva is a classic example of the Rioja region's finest winemaking. Enjoy now with a variety of dishes, or lay down for at least another decade.
