La Rioja Alta
Viña Alberdi Reserva Rioja Tempranillo
Coconut and dill. Sweet and sour component is so obvious that you can hardly miss. Medium plus acidity. Soft tannins and nice finish.

Feb 8th, 2018If you can't smell American oak, drink this wine. My favorite Rioja producer, by far.

Jan 16th, 2018Had another bottle, aged well. Deep red with aromas of bright red fruits with graphite notes. A 100% Tempranillo from several exceptional vineyards, aged in new French oak for one year then in 3-year old oak for the second year of aging. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with vanilla oak, earthy spice and chewy savory tannins, well balanced. Lingering finish ending with fruit characteristics. Very nice, great value.
