Imperial Rioja

Spain - Rioja - "A sculpted red, with ripe red cherry and currant fruit accented by briary herb, spice and floral notes. Reveals a plush quality to the texture without imparting too much weight, while a minerally underpinning pushes through to drive the lasting finish."

Spain - Rioja - "A savory red, leading with smoke and espresso notes before a plushly textured mix of black cherry, Kalamata olive and black tea pushes through. Sinewy tannins firm the fresh, spiced finish. Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo..."

Rioja, Spain- "This red has density and balance. Harmonious flavors of black cherry, plum, locorice, underbrush and tea mingle over over well-integrated tannins, giving way to a fresh, spicy finish. Not showy, but has energy."

Spain - Rioja - Aging in oak for 24 months and another 48 months in bottle. Its a dense, highly concentrated style that's very impressive. Aromatically bursting with red fruits, its a full flavored wine with notes of cranberries. A confident wine that will last a long time.

Rioja, Spain - "Certain wines exude a sense of elevated excellence. This one gets to that level via aromas of spice cake, baked plum and tobacco aromas. A stocky saturated palate is structured and built to age, while this tastes of cool blue fruits, herbs, coffee and chocolate."

Spain - Rioja - Made in a hot year. but not showing affects from the weather. Savory, sweet and well balanced, with 15% Graciano adding extra backbone and the zest that you expect from this special red.
