Bodegas Muga
Reserva Rioja Tempranillo
La Rioja, Spain
Cedar, cherry, spice. Mature Rioja at its best. Develops on the palate and has great length. Glad I kept it for so long.

Founded in 1932 by Isaac Muga Martínez, now run by Manuel, Isabel & Isaac Muga Caño. Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice, unmistakable Muga. 4 grape blend from the Haro district (70% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), palate shows cherry and currant flavors with espresso, vanilla & toasty oak tones. Soft full tannins, lively acidity on a medium+ finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Nice value! Great vintage! Went great with a gourmet pizza!

Very enjoyable wine!
Deep flavor but still light and goes well with or without food.
A bit on the acidic side
