Sarmentero Roble Ribera del Duero 2016
Ribera del Duero, Castilla-Leon, SpainThe Roble is tempranillo grown across two estate vineyards: Prado de Oyales and Peñuelas. The winery is the backyard of a wee house in the tiny town of Quintanilla de Arriba, Valladolid. Amparo Repiso, a 4th generation winemaker, decided to start her winery in 2004 with just one barrel of wine. The blend is a delightful mix of crushed berries, dusty cedar, and earthy, stony notes spiced with dried herbs. Five months in French, Hungarian and American oak smooths the edges. Good value for Ribera del Duero, but will require a grilled piece of lamb or beef to tame the acidity in the finish.Tasted: 06 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
