NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Rioja wine from Sierra Cantabria is a classic.A deep ruby red in the glass, it has aromas of dark cherry, vanilla and herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of ripe cherry, cassis and baking spices, with a hint of tobacco. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and persistent. A great example of a traditional Rioja Reserva.
