Wine of the Week | Viņa Ardanza 2016 [Red] 80% tempranillo (Montecillo & La Cuesta vineyards), 20% garnacha (La Pedriza vineyard). Nurtured separately in American oak barrels: tempranillo 36 months, garnacha 30 months. Bottled in June 2020. Lovely aromatics: spice (nutmeg/cardamom/clove), rich, jammy berry fruit with class and complexity. Excellent vintage, one of my favorite labels, always reliable and cellarworthy. [$M] |
