Wine Corner - Wine of The Week

Rio Madre ’10 Rioja
Spain
Regular Price $12.99, Tasting Price $10.99

The Graciano grape has long been fundamental to the wine industry in Rioja. Winemakers depend on it to add a wonderful floral bouquet and complexity to their blends. Rarely has it been used on its own. Several years ago we noticed that estate grown Graciano vineyards, which surround the town of Alfaro, were capable of producing a wine which exemplifies the best that the grape has to offer.

The deep, almost opaque color, the exuberant aromas and luscious flavors of blackberries and cherries tells you this is not a wine to be taken lightly but rather it should be enjoyed to its fullest.  (A Jorge Ordonez Selection).

This wine will be available for tasting Friday night.
