Wine in Black 'rioja te quiero'-pakket

Deep garnet in the glass, this wine has aromas of Mission fig, cocoa butter and dried Mediterranean herbs. Opulent tannins offer a backdrop to black-cherry, purple-plum, clove, caramel and crumbled sage-leaf flavors as well as a faint note of mint tea that carries into the enduring finish.

This dark-garnet-colored wine offers a bouquet of black currant, anisette and sage. Blackberry, cassis, dark-chocolate, violet and clove flavors are joined by a note of marjoram. Tannins start out feather light, slowly fill the palate, and linger for a while.

Dusty blackberries with some blue fruit, stones and spices. Nicely chewy and tight on the full-bodied palate, loaded with fine-grained tannins and juicy, almost tart fruit.

Always a good value Crianza, this is a cuvée of Tempranillo and 10% Mazuelo and Graciano from a range of vineyards in the Rioja Alta sub-region. Marked by its 80% American oak, it has appealing aromas of sweet spices and desiccated coconut, vibrant acidity and layers of bramble and black cherry.

Lovely finesse and balance to this red, with berries, light vanilla and dried flowers. Medium body, creamy tannins and a bright finish.

Youthful it may be for a Reserva, but this is a very well-balanced, forward expression of
Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. Aged in a 70/30 mix of American
and French oak, it's bright and sweet, with chalky undertones and succulent raspberry and
red cherry fruit.

De mooi gerijpte 'Le Altanza Único' van Bodegas Altanza is een fascinerende crianza: zijn verscheidenheid aan aroma’s van rijp donker fruit, subtiele kruiden en een vleugje eikenhout deden ons bij de eerste slok al versteld staan!

A pleasing, and subtle combination of oiled leather, violet blossoms, spiced pomegranates and dark chocolate lift from the glass and fill the mouth with flavor. A long, stimulating finish completes a satisfying wine meant to enjoy alongside a meal. — Elaine Chukan Brown
