Valenciso 'Laderas de Cabama' Rioja 2019
"I've always liked and admired the wines from Valenciso; they seem to take the best from the traditional and more modern Rioja. One of the names that is undeservedly flying under the radar."
– Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
“Powerful and concentrated, this has a great tannin structure that makes it seem rather young for its age. There's a very nice balance on the warm and generous finish that pulls you back for more. Drink or hold."
- James Suckling
Valenciso Rioja Laderas De Cabama 2019 is a premium red wine that is sure to delight the senses, crafted from a single site with 35-year-old Tempranillo vines. It's naturally fermented in concrete vats and aged in low-toast French and Russian oak for just 12 months. Bottled unfined, it's a fleshy and subtely oaked Rioja, with silky red cherry, liquorice and powdered chocolate noted red with a nip of fine tannins to close. This wine boasts a rich and complex flavor profile with prominent notes of blueberries, pomegranate, and exotic herbs. The taste is full-bodied with soft tannins and beautiful nuances of spices, black fruit, anise, and vanilla. The finish is intense and full, leaving a lasting impression.
ABV: 13.5%
