Bodegas Ontanon Reserva 2005 (750ML)

91 WS

Smokey and sanguine notes frame a core of plum and dried cherry in this savory red, with accents of tobacco, mineral and earth. Maturing gracefully, with well-integrated tannins that give way to the spicy finish. Drink now through 2020. -Wine Spectator

95% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano. Reservas are produced only in vintages of exceptional quality, and the Onta±on Reserva comes from our most select vineyards on the slopes of the Sierra Yerga Mountains, just above the town of Quel in Rioja baja. The product of some of our oldest vines, Onta±on Reserva displays notes of deep, full fruit flavors but with ample acidity, minerality and earth notes drawn from the land where the fruit is grown. It has backbone, fine-laced acidity, structure and natural grape tannins that that will ensure its integrity for years to come.

Drink our Reserva with lamb, roast pork, game, mushroom risotto and meat-based pasta dishes. -Winery
