Chivite Colección 125 Single Vineyard Vino de Guarda 2019
Navarra and Basque Country, SpainI first tasted this label at the winery back in 1995. It has always been tempranillo, but 2019 seems light years ahead of those early releases. Tempranillo is at its geographical limit for cultivation in the northernmost zone, yet this silky, concentrated, juicy red stands out with its excellent acidity, fruit balance, and plenty of layered cassis and earthy notes on the palate. The tannins are dense and fine grained to fill the finish. Impressive for the price. The GI 3 Riberas is a Spanish geographical indication for Vino de la Tierra wines located in the autonomous region of Navarre.Tasted: 14 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $65.00 | 750ml | estimated retail in select private wine shops |
