La Rioja Alta S.A. Vina Ardanza Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2017 1.5L Schug Carneros Estate and stony notes evolve alongA more vibrant and fruitier expression of Ardanza this year with strawberries, mussels, warm spices and berries. Round and silky on the palate with lovely spices and a long, nicely saline finish. A nice touch of creaminess works really well here and further extends the finish. 80% tempranillo and 20% garnacha. Drink or hold. 95 Pts James Suckling
