Viña Cerrada Rioja Gran Reserva 2017
EPIC 140+-year-old producer, with access to over 70 hectares of prime vineyards throughout La Rioja – and did I mention it’s also a GRAN RESERVA?!?! For our downright silly, way UNDER $30 PRICE?!Â
YES! The most compelling Spanish magic comes together in this fantastic 94 POINT Gran Reserva bottling – made even more magical still when we sprinkle a little fairy dust of our own – getting the price down to an incredible 70+% Off! Just a MUST for serious lovers of Tempranillo!! Bask in a sensuous bouquet of violets and vanilla beans, with this earthy roasted coffee note…followed deftly with this uber-dark blackberry note (maybe from the 20% graciano in the mix?) that just pulses through this brooding and powerful rioja, before being ultimately uplifted by the bright cherry and pomegranate flavors of tempranillo, and…AND! Cinnamon spice, and clove, with zippy and fresh sensations of orange zest, and is that a kiss of perfectly ripe figs? Ah, man, I just LOVE it! For just TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?!
Cray-cray…like all of my favorite Spaniards. Viña Cerrada is from Bodegas Ugalde – a legendary Rioja producer that has been revolutionizing the region since 1882. In the early days, this winery grew in both recognition and quality through its acceptance of displaced Bordeaux winemakers – set adrift after the phylloxera epidemic known as the Great French Wine Blight devastated the majority of France’s wine regions from 1863 on. Founder Felipe Ugalde welcomed these winemakers to Rioja, and the exchange of ideas, styles, and knowledge ushered in an era of prosperity for the region. His efforts led to the creation of the official Rioja D.O.C. – and the Ugalde legend was just beginning. It’s grown over the last century plus, and we’re just STOKED, I mean absolutely floored, that we have some of this to share with y’all! Seven years young has this drinking in its prime, and halfway through my glass – I just got this incredible urge to DANCE! Over 70% Off?! Don’t miss this, good people!
