Casa La Luna 2001
Castilla-Leon, SpainCasa La Luna a delightful little red wine from North Central Spain. Here, 200 kilometres from Madrid, the Duero river supports an impressive patch of old-ish vines that average 25 years or older in age. Severe temperatures in summer and winter, along with sparse soil, conspire to keep the yields impressively low for a wine at this price. La Luna Red (there is also a white) is made at Bodegas Fuentespina in the noted Ribera del Duero appellation and it is done so in the same manner as the reds bearing the Ribera's premier moniker. It's soft and round with both ripe fruit and acidity and a very pleasing dark fruit aftertaste. It simply doesn't get any better for $9.Tasted: 23 July 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $8.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
