Martin Cendoya 2007 Rioja Reserva
Rioja, Spain

In the Rioja region, wines designated as reserva must be aged for at least three years, one of them in oak barrels. Composed of 80 per cent Tempranillo, 15 per cent Graciano and 5 per cent Mazuelo (or Carignan), this Rioja Reserva is full-bodied and dry. Made from vines nearly a century old or more, its fruit flavors are concentrated and complex.
