C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)
Monopole Blanco Seco Reserva
La Rioja, Spain
One of the BEST wines for $20-- layers of complexity, I let this one air a while. It drank like a CDP Blanc-- honey, beeswax, acacia, tangerine, melon, lemon curd, and all polished with mineral. Excellent!

May 25th, 2025After a decant, this 2016 opened up like a CDP blanc-- could fool for a Marsanne, lots of beeswax, honey, and candied citrus peel. Lovely textures, long finish with wet granite notes. Beautiful wine for $20
