R. López de Heredia
Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura
Petrol, smoke, viscosity and length. Pre White Burg and old CA tasting outlier.

Jul 28th, 2017Big mouthfeel, lactic and creamy with peach notes and some spice with a buttery and mushroom finish. Goes great with pasta and cream sauce. Not a casual light hearted wine however.

Jun 27th, 2017Always a delight but for some reason tasted a bit disjointed & less potent than in past. Paired with a smoked fish & chorizo stew, tomato based(yum)Still, Love that waxy, marcona almond thang. Perhaps a better pairing would be a Lopez rose, but we have to wait for its return

Mar 26th, 2017Just wow. Sherry finish. Medium bodied. Round palate. Long, complex, and layered.
