Traditionally made Rioja appeals to us in much the same way as the greatest Burgundy and Piemonte wines. Pecina's '07 Riserva is singing right now and a steal for $30. This Rioja made without fuss and in perfect balance will find its way to our dinner tables many many times this winter.

Delightful. Tar, leather, soft tannins. 10 years in, it's showing beautifully.

It was a bit flat, too old. Otherwise good fruit, body and light structure for a Rioja.

Incredibly suave texture with amazing tomato acids. Spicy American oak provides an elegant frame

Okay my wine genius friends. When a wine has a cidery quality is it a VA signifier or some other cause. I sell wine, don't make it. Mia culpa

lots of old creaky leather and blueberries and raspberries and bran flakes. tannins are thin and even and burnished smooth. a long trail-off with some bouquet garni and sun-baked soil. opened up nice and quick for a decade old wine
