R. López de Heredia Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura 2009

Josh Morgenthau

Hay, mushrooms, carmelized lemon. Oxidized and nutty, with such an impressive finish, like a buttered biscuit. Goes on forever. Slightly thin midpalate, only in comparison to the finish. Otherwise beautiful. With time, a floral aroma joins in, with citrus blossom and dried apricot.

Andrew Lohse

Gorgeous, rich, distinguished / BIG OXIDATION / honeyed, nutty, with a punctuated brininess on the finish. STUNNER, especially at this value

Jared O'Connell

Love this stuff. Rich brown butter toasted almond with some petrol on the nose + meyer lemon, stone fruit, brine. Oatmeal! Layers of acidic stone fruit and sweet pears, nice minerality on top of a toasty creme brûlée. Long finish ugh so good.

Stuart Scheff

Not stored properly and on the edge of turning. Too bad as I was looking forward to this one

Raitt

Too old

William hines

Rich and nutty.

Shafiq Perry

Awesome

Ashley Spurgin

Intensely honeyed with some in my group noting petrol, extremely interesting and concentrated. Enjoyed with a crystallized cheddar, Spanish goat’s milk cheese, and a couple of others. Highly enjoyable. Might even stand up to some desserts.

Lisa Bailey

Big, nutty and oaky on the nose. More terroire on the palate with a clean finish. Very complex and fun

Michael Brooks Jr.

One of the most complex whites I’ve ever had. A subtle honey mixed with butterscotch, with a crisp smack to it....it’s amazing. Will get again.
