About this wine
UNDER $15! The NOSE of this silky Spanish Rioja is enough to seal the deal on this massive no-brainer of a deal. 92 POINTS too! I mean…THIRTEEN DOLLARS!!! C’mon, y’all. It’s pretty much irresponsible to unleash something so joyously yummy at a price like this, but we assume you are responsible adults and will make good choices…do the right thing – drink two! Rioja specialist Zinio Bodegas – Rioja’s greatest co-op producer with over 200 winegrowers based in the quaint town of Uruñuela and their impressive array of 450 hectares of vineyards across the glorious Rioja Alta. These vines thrive at high altitudes up to 1800 feet – perfectly situated to enjoy the sunny and warm Mediterranean climate, while still able to capture those cooling, and acidity-preserving, breezes from off the Atlantic. Violets, hibiscus agua fresca, cocoa powder, hyper-fresh vanilla bean, and all the blackberry and black cherry fruit you can handle! A colossal no-brainer if you love big, tasty Tempranillo (plus 10% Graciano) with a come-hither friendliness that begs you to drink this ALL YEAR LONG! A classic "house" wine (at our price) and something you can drink with unbounded joy and abandon at any time. We will be!! There's not as much as we'd like....grab it while it's here...delicious Rioja, baby!
