Natalie's Score: 87/100

Lots of acidity, very juicy, tanned leather and dried herbs. This full-bodied Rioja red wine produced by Bodegas Franco-Españolas. Not fruit-forward. Ready to drink now.

Tempranillo food pairings: lamb, beef, hard cheese, pork, duck.

Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A blend of 80% Tempranillo, 16% Garnacha, 2% Mazuelo, and 2% Graciano that spent 36 months in white American oak. Ruby red with a garnet hue. The nose shows dried cherry, plum, balsamic notes. Rustic and loaded with flavour. Layers of dried fruit, aged cedar, leather adn barn notes. Enjoy with grilled lamb shank. Tasted March 2017. 91 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
