The noteworthy 2010 Reserva Unfiltered is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 7% Mazuelo and 3% Graciano. Notes of lead pencil shavings, smoky oak, blackcurrants, black cherries and underbrush jump from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, Graves-like red that could easily pass for a Bordeaux in a blind tasting. The color is dense ruby/plum/purple and the wine is medium-bodied, beautifully textured and pure. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

Juicy and expressive, this lively red shows coffee and licorice notes that frame black cherry and currant flavors. The tannins are a bit chewy but resolve gracefully on the fruity finish. Drink now through 2020. 5,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
