The 2008 Dominio De Heredia is 100% Tempranillo as are all the wines from this producer. It spent 5 months in French and American oak. Cedar, tobacco, spice notes, cherry, and raspberry aromas lead to an easygoing, finesse-styled, tasty Rioja that is a very good value meant for drinking over the next 5-6 years.
As usual, the latest releases from Bodegas Altanza are first class.
