Monte Yerga Alfaro Rioja Red Blend

Good, simple style. Gets better after being open for a few days, hence the rating.

High toned. Delicious.

Garden variety garnacha with silky structure, medium-low acids, and almost no tannins. Lots of ripened strawberries and raspberries. Ultimately a bit simplistic.

Reddish in color, and light to medium in body.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing red currants, cherries, earth and black coffee.

Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and peppercorn.

A simple red Rioja.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

Still drinks really young

Nice entry level wine that’s light and balanced. Red fruit typical of Garnacha. This is a buy and drink wine - not for cellaring!

Run of the mill rioja

Pretty label, pretty color in the glass. Flavors are lighter. Lovely.

Rioja suave

Vibrant, ripe berries with clippy tannins #capitalgrille
