Bodegas Valdemar 2005 Inspiración (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Maturana
Winery: Bodegas Valdemar / Inspiración

This unusual varietal wine hits with a giant wall of herbal aromas that suggest tomato leaf, oregano and basil. The palate is firm and structured in feel, with smacking tannins and flavors of dark berry fruits, green herbs and coffee. A peppery tasting finish with residual green flavors and mocha works for this decidedly herbal-leaning but high-quality wine. Drink now.
