2020 La Rioja Alta - Rioja Alberdi Reserva (750ml)

From one of Rioja's most storied and respected houses — founded in Haro in 1890, with its own cooperage crafting the American oak barrels that define the estate's signature style. Sourced from 40+ year old vines in Mayorita, El Bardal, El Rebollar, and Alto del Rey, planted on clay-limestone soils at 500–600 meters elevation in Rodezno and Labastida; fermented in stainless steel and matured two years in American oak. Intense garnet with raspberries, wild strawberries, and redcurrants on the nose wrapped in balsamic aromas of caramel, vanilla, toffee, and roasted coffee; long, balanced, and fresh on the palate with fine, silky tannins and a finish where the bright red fruit and balsamic character reappear. Classical, juicy, and elegant
