Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Found a ‘14 hanging around. Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas, herb and spicy pepper notes. On the palate blackberry and plum flavors with notes of black pepper, cacao and earthy spice. Savory ripe tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and earthy herb notes. Just ok, drink now past it’s prime!

Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas and sweet baking spice notes. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with notes of cinnamon, cacao and earthy spice. Savory full fine tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and forest floor character. Good value. Tasted twice.

Medium body Rioja. Our selection from Spain for our 2024 Wine & Bourbon Tasting. Definitely my top Rioja to date.

Good Tempranillo- a little funky that mellowed when sat for a bit. Will decant the next bottle. Costco find
