WTN: Rioja and What is your Favorite steak wine?
Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:55 pm
Deep garnet red color. Intense nose of bing cherries and sweet vanilla oak. Balanced midpalate of sweet dark fruit, fine but grippy tannins and tangy acidity. Nice medium long finish of blackberries, tannins, acidity and some smokey oak. Nice medium bodied wine. Definitely new world style
Wine: 2005 Rioja La Montesa by Bodgeas Palacias Remondo 14% abv.
With food: Nice match with grilled ribeye. Best match was with a Hors d'ouvre that had a mushroom filling. Brought out the earthy fruit taste in the wine.
My favorite steak wines are new world cabernets and Spanish tempranillos, especially rioja reservas and grand reservas.
