Reserva Rioja Tempranillo
La Rioja, Spain
Deep Ruby with a bouquet of berry fruits, pepper spice, earthy tones and herbs. On the palate flavors of plum and cherry, tobacco, herb pepper spice, lively acidity. Firm chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, herbs, spice and an earthy character.

Sixth and final round of tasting and we all went 0-3 on the reds. This one was so maddeningly obvious. The dill!
Deep ruby color that is thick as tar, there is an enormous amount of vanilla and jammy over-ripened black fruit. Lacking some of the floral notes I’d expect in. Reserva, it makes up for it with eucalyptus and leather, a touch of mint, and plenty of balsamic. There’s also an earthy mushroom thing happening. Moderate tannins, low acids. Plenty of alcohol.
How did we fail here @Jillian Varner?
