Marqués de Riscal Finca Torrea 2015
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainYouthful juicy and approachable, with strawberry, cherry, raspberry, perfumed violets, seasoned with toasted cinnamon and nutmeg, and bracketed with earthy, fine tannins. The palate is cushy and the finish is warm. This youthful Rioja is a blend of tempranillo and graciano fermented in small French oak vats where it remains after MLF for 18 months. Modern style, as reflective of the stylized label showing the plots surrounding the winery where the grapes are sourced. Excellent, approachable introduction to Riscal.Tasted: 12 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:QC | $25.00 | 750ml | |
