Wine of the Week | Finca San Martin 2012 [Red] Rioja Alavesa producer Torre de Oņa is part of the Rioja Alta group. Their estate wines have shown well over the years and this Finca San Martín 2012 is no exception. 100% Tempranillo with 16 months in a French & American oak. Very good. Bright cherry red color. Pleasant nose with a nice mix of berry fruit (raspberry/blueberry), spice, caramel and a hint of licorice. Medium-body and easy to drink with ample fruit flavors and well integrated barrel-age components: vanilla, spice, cocoa, licorice. Good length, nicely balanced. [$M] |
A note to our readers:
I've used SRP, which is the normal price in Spain expressed in US dollars [Low=$5-9, Medium=$10-18, High=$19+]. The wines selected are usually moderately priced and generally exported around the world. Some exceptions happen...
