Viña Cerrada 2006 Gran Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Gran Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Viña Cerrada / Rioja

This is light and rusty in color—evidence of a mature wine that’s ready to drink now. The nose is spicy, dry and earthy, with tomato, nutmeg and tobacco aromas. The mouthfeel is snappy and drying, with reserved flavors of cocoa, cherry and plum. Spice, tomato and herbal tobacco flavors carry the finish.
