Wine of the Week

Gran Reserva 890 2001 [Red]
Producer: La Rioja Alta
Region: DOC Rioja

The winery's first wine was 1890, thus the name. A genuine Rioja classic made only in top vintages. Tempranillo (95%) and a bit of Graciano & Mazuelo, six years of barrel age, bottled in 2008. An enormous wine, pure pleasure in a bottle.

Dark garnet red color. Beautifully complex nose with aromas of ripe berry fruit (blueberry), vanilla, spice (cinnamon/nutmeg), 'After Eight'... Silky smooth on the palate, super soft tannins, mature fruit flavors, chocolate, great length and balance. Outstanding!

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...
