Viña Aliaga, Reserva, Navarra, Spain 2017
75% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon
BLACK CHERRY & ORANGE PEEL, MATURE OAK, SILKY PERFECTION
A show stopper! The mahogany colored edge is just a hint that the wine has been maturing for some time. The nose leans old-school with orange peel and dried cherry, while plush tannin and an impression of elegant plushness lend decadence to the texture. Winemaker and owner Carlos Aliaga named his wines after his mother’s last name, Aliaga. He insists on using time to make his wines and interferes very little. You are tasting a piece of the past in this bottle. Very few wineries can afford the time to make wine like this today. Decant. A Wine Authorities Exclusive!
Serving Suggestion: A polished red for slow roasted pork tenderloin with pimentón roasted potatoes and crispy onions.
