Muriel Rioja Reserva 2016 750ml
Muriel Rioja Reserva 2016 750ml
Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
Critical Acclaim
91 James Suckling
Savory spices and plums to the nose with a light- to medium-bodied palate, showing more elegance than power. Tannins are fresh and firm, with an elegant and medium-long finish. Linear and subtle. Drink now.
