La Rioja Alta
Viña Alberdi Reserva Rioja Tempranillo
La Rioja, Spain
Fresh red fruits, balsamic, oak notes. Great acidity. If there’s meat on the grill (or cast iron as the case may be) go for it

Almost see trough red at a glance, it has that brownish rim consistent with the age. Full of dark fruit and some tobacco leafs on the scent. On the pallet it is full bodied with great balance, and defined tannings. One of the best value wines I’ve found in a long time: it’s got aging in oak and bottle which have provided ample softening time. All this for less than twenty bucks.
