NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Sierra Cantabria Selección is a smooth, savory Rioja from Spain.On the nose, it offers aromas of red fruit, leather and spice, while the palate is full-bodied and well balanced with flavors of plum, blackberry and clove. The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of tobacco. This is an excellent, well-crafted Rioja that pairs perfectly with grilled meats and cheeses.
