Valdelana 2004 Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Valdelana / Rioja

Every wine from this house has exotic aromas and flavors that aren’t matched elsewhere, which isn’t to say that Valdelana’s wines offer fool-proof likability. This wine smells funky and tastes of tobacco, butter and cumin. Lean on the finish, but interesting for its unique character, aromas and flavors.
