The 2009 Sela is made in an obviously lighter, more forward style than the Reservas. It is a spicy, savory, nicely balanced wine for drinking over the next 5-6 years. Bodegas Roda is one of the quality leaders in Rioja. They have embarked on a couple of new projects, the first being the production of an entry-level Rioja named Sela. The second new Roda project is the development of two wines from Ribera del Duero made from 100% Tempranillo. Both 2009s were barrel samples but impressive nevertheless.
