[SOLD-OUT] La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2015

 

THIS RESERVA IS SUCH A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO THE FRESH, CLEAN, COMPLEX STYLE OF FAMED LA RIOJA ALTA.

 

"Aromas of subtle red fruit with plums, spice and cedar. Some dried flowers and dried spices, such as paprika. It’s medium-bodied with some pretty, ripe fruit in the center palate, fine tannins and a citrus and cedar undertone to the finish." - James Suckling

"The classic Haro-styled red 2015 Viña Alberdi, sold abroad with the mention of Reserva and in Spain as Crianza, is a good introduction to the house style: balsamic reds with abundant notes of sweet spices and cigar ash, developed aromas of forest floor and a creamy twist making small concessions for a fresher and cleaner profile in the last few years but keeping the classic style. There are notes of ground tobacco and earth, and the palate is seamless and sleek, with polished tannins and a soft mouthfeel. There are 550,000 bottles of this wine, all produced from a single master blend. It was bottled in September 2018 after two years in American oak barrels." - Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate
