Izadi’s Rioja Reserva comes from 100% older-vine Tempranillo that thrives in the chalky, clay-limestone soils and in a microclimate influenced both by elevation and the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. This provides the raw materials to craft a Rioja Reserva that retains a modern expression of fruit and sweet tannins on release but with the complexity to develop for decades. - Importer

This is a pretty classical rendition of Rioja, and a wine that over delivers for the price! Loaded with sweet red cherry fruit, sandalwood and spice box aromas on the nose from its time in barrel, moderate tannins, and a beautiful, plush fruit from start to finish. Perfect for anything from roasted chicken, game birds, duck breast, perfect with a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, pork, beef and so much more!

"An outstanding Rioja Reserva that has some fine plushness from the oak. Dark chocolate, cedar, dark spices and a hint of truffle to the fresh blackberries. Juicy and dusty with very firm yet dusty tannins on the fine-grained and full-bodied palate. Long, structured and well-knit. Drink or hold."

Well-balanced and silky on the palate, this classy red features a beam of ripe mulberry fruit, with creamy tannins and aromatic hints of dried flowers, crushed pine and sandalwood, followed by a plush finish. Drink now through 2029. 29,100 cases made, 7,000 cases imported.
