A tad oxidized but still bright and fresh. Typical Rioja earthiness. Red fruit in the foreground.

We opened the 2016 La Rioja Alta S.A. Viña Ardanza Reserva. This is a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha from La Bastida, Spain. On thr nose there was cherry, plum, strawberry,black currant, anise, leather, herbs, baking spice and forest floor. On the palate was cherry, raspberry, strawberry, herbs, baking spice, balsamic and anise. This wine is medium to full bodied with a silky mouthfeel medium+ acidity and medium to medium + fine supple tannins that lead to a long red fruit forest floor finish. Welcome to another weekend and I hope everyone has great plans with wine in mind. Please enjoy the weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia!

Ruby in color with a wide cloudy reddish rim. Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Dry on the palate with nice complexity. Showing red and black fruits with oak, licorice, eucalyptus, herbs, mediterranean spices, coffee, earth and black pepper. Nice tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries. This is a very tasty 7-year-old Rioja Reserva. Elegant and soft. Showing nice complexity at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Easy drinking and a good food wine. I had the 2009 a few years ago, and loved it. This one just needs more time in the bottle to mature properly. A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. Aged for 3 years in used American oak barrels. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 90 points. $40.

2024/8. Still very young and rather dense for the style, but the spicy strawberry could and vanilla cheesecake are textbook for classical Rioja

Fruit forward but with the earthiness you expect from well made Rioja. Excellent wine that will continue to get better with time in the bottle.
