R. López de Heredia
Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend
I've had a lot of bottles of Lopez de Heredia and for some strange reason this inexpensive Cubillo from a weak vintage might be my favorite. Maybe it was the state of my palate that night, or the setting or the food. But to me, this bottle was really about the wondrous unpredictability of wine, and the importance of a good winemaker, especially when conditions are not ideal. (From September 2012)
