VIZCARRA 'SENDA DEL ORO ROBLE' 2022، ريبيرا ديل دويرو

That first sip really delivers on the fresh and elegant promise—the raspberry and black cherry flavors are beautifully balanced with a subtle oak touch. I’ve been pairing it with grilled lamb and it’s a fantastic match.

The cardamom and cinnamon notes really come through on the nose, making it feel more layered than your typical oak-heavy tempranillo. It’s smooth enough to sip on its own, though I can see it pairing well with a hearty stew.

Opened this with some aged manchego and the raspberry and anise notes really came through beautifully. The oak is subtle enough to let the fruit shine, making it perfect for a relaxed evening.
