Dominio Eguren Sierra Cantabria Rioja 2004

Dominio de Eguren Sierra Cantabria Rioja 2004

There is probably no better geographical origin than Rioja to get acquainted with Spanish wines, and no better Rioja than Sierra Cantabria, produced by the Eguren family.

Sierra Cantabria Rioja 2004 is 100% Tempranillo, aged approximately 6 months in French and American oak.

Excellent value: ($13). Closure: Real cork. Alcohol content: 13.5%.

Style: Complex but not heavy, a blend of the old and new worlds, with fruit and character.

Tasting Notes: Appearance: Deep purple garnet. Aromas: Raspberry, black cherry, vanilla, light rose/floral notes, and cigar box. Medium-bodied tart and gravelly, the cherry, raspberry, white pepper and citrus rind flavors lead to a bold finish that's warm and comforting.

Comment: Versatile and worldly; this young Rioja is very compatible with steelhead trout.
