Torre Albeniz Reserva

Varietals: 
Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Tasting Notes: 
This wine is drinking really well -- unbelievable, actually. It has only gotten better with time. This is the one I reach for when I want a fruity, yet full-bodied red. If you like Syrahs, you will love this. Aroma of ripe, red fruits, structured and vigorous on the palate, with traces of vanilla.

Earthy, fully ripe classic Rioja aromas of sweet leather, herbs, & a touch of raisin....on the palate, roundness of body and depth of cola, cherry, & plum flavors. Finishes with cocoa, buttered toast, and width.
