Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A ruby color with a violet rim. On the nose, ripe black fruit (blackberry, plum), eucalyptus, vanilla, spices, toast, chocolate, and mineral notes. On the palate, voluminous, warm and silky with ripe tannins that give body and great structure. Pleasant to drink. The mineral notes make a peculiar, long and persistent aftertaste.

    COMMENTARY: The 2016 Martin Cendoya Reserva is packed and well-built on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and oak. Enjoy it with pan-fried steak cubes and baby bock choy. (Tasted: June 19, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

All this results in exceptional wines that win major national and international awards.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.

Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
