From Vinous: "Lopez de Heredia is the poster child for traditional Rioja winemaking. The wines have achieved worldwide acclaim in recent years, making them sometimes difficult to find as allocations continue to be spread out across the market ... Nothing much has changed here since the winery was founded in 1877. "

Lovely stuff. Orange peel, apricot, corn and lemon oil. Dry finish with limestone. Unusual and delicious.

Really great balance of Tempranillo garnacha Graciano and Mazuelo. Would get this again for sure. Happy New Year!

Sweet and spicy full-bodied Rioja with strawberry notes and a dry finish. Nice choice at Mara, Mpls.

Nose is pleasant. Strawberries. Palate is very clean strawberry fruit. A hint of oxidation. Nicely vinous. Good acidity.
