La Rioja Alta "Vina Alberdi" Rioja Reserva 2019

Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 91 Points

(12/2023) The 2019 Reserva Vina Alberdi is 100% Tempranillo, sourced from Labastida, Rioja Alavesa and aged for two years in American oak barrels. Garnet in color, the bouquet features vanilla and ripe plum notes along with hints of balsamic and caramel. Dry and juicy on the palate, the polished tannins and silky flow lead to a fairly nimble finish — a delicate Rioja red. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2034.
