Country: Spain / Pagos Viejos
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Artadi / Rioja
Intense but classy aromas of berry fruits, minerality, vanilla and chocolate are milder and richer than the wine’s racy, structured, acid-rich palate. Flavors of blackberry come with a shock of bracing tartness, while oaky aftershocks offer up chocolate and woodspice flavors. A zesty, firm, hard-driving finish brings a touch of sharpness. Drink through 2022.
