Solabal 2004 Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Solabal / Rioja

Solabal captures the essence of Rioja reserva with this fairly oaked, fruity wine. The palate is tight and demanding, with proper acid-to-tannin balance. Flavors of wild raspberry and plum are lively, while the finish shows some creaminess, tobacco and warmth. Drink now and over the next two years.
