Rioja, Spain
100% Tempranillo
This vineyard, planted in 1915, yields only 3,000 bottles yearly. Darkly beautiful, loaded with spicy blackberry, it’s richly layered and finely tannic. Elegant and silty, it coats the palate with silky balsamic, cherry, cocoa, and minerals. The finish is super long, with cedar, plum, and toasty oak. Classic Rioja, it’s perfect with aged cheeses, and with roasted meat, lamb, cured ham, and blistered peppers
