2017 Alexander Vineyards Reserva
100% Tempranillo grapes from an over 50 year old vineyard make this Alexander Vineyards Reserva. After aging for 24 months on an 100% French oak, it spends another 12 months in bottle. The oaking gives this wine notes of leather, black pepper, and roasted wood. In the mouth, this wine feels broad and full, with a softness, maturity, and balance.
On the nose, expect notes of well-tanned leather, spices, cocoa, and toasted notes. The fruit is well balanced with spice and toasted wood at the finish.On the palate, it is harmonious, tasty and full bodied. A classic fruity Rioja with softness, balance and maturity. Excellent pairing for red meat, game, stews and legumes.
