Bodegas Olarra 2009 Otoñal (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Otoñal
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Olarra / Rioja

Earthy and mildly medicinal smelling, with a healthy, not too stark palate that’s dealing pointed cherry flavors and some dry oak. It’s a touch sharp and angular, with a dry, peppery finish that’s lean, acid-driven and starching.
