La Rioja Alta Vina Arana Reserva 2009  - First Bottle

Reviews

96 James Suckling -
This is a powerful and rich red with black truffle and blueberry character. Sweet tobacco, too. Full body, tannic and flavorful. Yet open and polished. Fantastic finish. Great ageing potential. Drink or hold.
91 Decanter -
Dried prune, garrigue and gamy nose. Crunchy red cherries on the palate with very fine grained ripe tannins. A smart wine.

About the Producer

Founded by five families in 1890, La Rioja Alta is an institution in Rioja producing some of the finest traditional Riojas in the region, internationally recognized by the best restaurants and retail shops across the world as a standard bearer. The winery now owns more than 740 acres of vines! With as much time as Rioja spends in oak casks, the winery created its own cooperage to control the quality, importing high quality oak from the US and air drying it for 2 years before crafting their barrels. At any given time they have more than 6 million bottles aging at one time!
