Region: Spain (Rioja)

Grapes: 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo

Taste: "The 2015 Gran Reserva is ripe and nicely black fruity in personality, offering up scents of dark berries, roasted meats, cigar smoke, dark soil tones, celery seed, Rioja spices and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with a good core of fruit, excellent soil signature, ripe tannins and a long, tangy and gently new oaky finish.”

Pairing: Smoked duck, Pork BBQ, Grilled chicken
