Rudeles 2004 Selección (Ribera del Duero)

Country: Spain / Selección
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Rudeles / Ribera del Duero

Sweet blueberry and floral/lilac aromas give this a more elegant, fragrant opening than many of the oak-ladened blockbusters it competes with. The palate is ripe and mixes in flavors of blackberry, cappuccino and bitter herbs. Feelwise, all is calm and lush. And best of all there’s continuity from front to back. Only 1,000 cases made.
