Lopez De Heredia Cubillo 2017

Elegant and timeless, this 2017 Tempranillo from legendary R. Lopez de Heredia captures the essence of classic Spanish winemaking. Aged to perfection, it presents a harmonious blend of rich fruit flavors and subtle oak nuances, offering a sophisticated drinking experience. this wine could be labeled a class above - as a Reserva - but they keep it a Crianza. It compares to most other Rioja wineries’ Reservas since the wine is aged for three years in oak, followed by another two to three years in bottle. The resulting wine is fruit-forward but with very developed, umami, herbaceous, older-wine aromas of cherries and spices.70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha Tinta, 5% Graciano, 5% Mazuela
