Bodegas Leza García 2006 Arderius (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Arderius
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Leza García / Rioja

Lean, dry raspberry aromas and a slight floral essence carry the nose toward a zesty, semisharp palate with crisp cherry and cranberry flavors. Not bad in a lean, stripped-back way; but there’s no excess oak, weight or sweetness. Lean stuff for old-school palates nursing plates of ham or salami.
