From Rioja, Izadi is medium-bodied, 100% Tempranillo aged 14 months in American and French oak. This one pairs with a roast of lamb studded with garlic, crusted with rosemary and blue cheese. Full-bodied Spanish red wine with notes of cigar box and dark berries with spice.

Food pairings: lamb chop casserole, stuffed breast of veal, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This full bodied red wine from Spain is 100% Tempranillo - plum, cherry, raspberry, with a touch of subtle earthiness. Lovely on its own or with light tapas dishes. Drink now.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromatic and flavourful black plum, anise, leather, dark chocolate notes. The palate showcases young grippy tannins, moderate and balanced acidity and a long minty chocolate mocha finish. Enjoy this full-bodied Spanish red with seared garlic sage ab rosemary lamb chops. Tasted by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Izadi Reserva (2012) is a deep red Rioja made from that wine region's iconic Tempranillo wine grape. The wine is full-bodied with lush, ripe red cherries, plums and soft tannins and soft spice finish. This is a lovely drink-now Tempranillo. - Community Wine Reviews
