Finca Valpiedra Reserva 2012
Purple with ruby highlights, this wine shows up-front aromas of raspberries and black cherries with undertones of leather and spice. On the palate, it is expansive and rich.
Pair with lamb and apricot tajines, prime rib, tomato stews, or green lentil-based dishes.
Blend: 90% Tempranillo, 6% Graciano, 4% Maturana Tinta
Dark garnet. Perfumed, spice-accented cherry and dark berries on the nose, with suggestions of vanilla and pipe tobacco emerging as the wine opens up. Palate-coating black raspberry and cherry cola flavors deepen on the back half while maintaining energy. Well-knit tannin's build slowly and steadily on a long, sweet finish that leaves repeating and baking spice notes behind. - 92pts Vinous
