Rioja Reserva 2015

- 92 points -

Winemaker Ruth Rodríguez uses Tempranillo grapes from higher zones on the flank of the Sierra Cantabria to produce her Reserva bottling. Aged in French and 30% American wood, it's youthful, modern and very stylish, with violet aromas, scented oak spice, black cherry and raspberry fruit and a balsamic finish.
