2015 Martelo, Reserva, Torre de Oña, Rioja, Spain

Finca Martelo is a single-plot wine from famed producer La Rioja Alta. It’s matured in a mix of French and American oak barrels for 24 months. The wine shows beautifully intense and perfumed aromas of raspberry coulis, soft red plum and cranberry, with subtle notes of violet and vanilla. The palate has a darker, richer character, with juicy black cherry, chocolate and menthol. This is an extremely high-quality Rioja that will cellar for at least another 10 years. Drink now to 2031.
