WINE:Bodegas Lan Rioja Reserva 2011
REGION: Rioja
GRAPE VARIETIES:
92% Tempranillo, 8% Graciano
TASTING NOTES:
I want a ring the color of this wine- a deep, glowing garnet. The nose has aromas of red and black berries, vanilla, leather and black licorice. The palate is abundant with flavors of black berries, leather, spices and pepper. This wine drinks beyond its price point (ave price $17).
