Description
Crafted from the region's celebrated Tempranillo, this is always a classic example of traditional Rioja. It will be dark and earthy with spice, dried herbs, leather and Rioja's telltale balsamic note. Muriel ages their Reservas for two years in American and French oak, a year more than required by law, and matures them for another two years in bottle. Tempranillo's fabulous food-friendliness will be amply on display here; pair with paella, risotto, lasagna, polenta, chile rellenos...we could go on.

Tasting Notes
This generous red is rich and round, with ripe tannins and orange peel acidity. Cherry, dried currant, licorice, vanilla and spice flavors are ample yet focused. A balance of traditional and modern styles. Drink now through 2030. Score - 93. (Tim Matthews, winespectator.com, April 30, 2020)
