Viñamada 2006 Reserva (Rioja)

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

More traditional than modern in style, this has aromas of citrus, herb, dry oak and medium-weight fruit. It feels crisp and tightly focused, with a complex palate that offers notes of berries, chocolate and herbs. It finishes long, with a leathery, meaty element that lends gravitas to the wine. Drink now–2016.
