Over the past several years, The Wine Buyer has featured several outstanding Rioja's just starting to hit their peak drinking window. These are our favorite types of wines, because instead of having to wait a few years for the bottles to fully mature, these beauties are ready to pop, pour and enjoy. Such is the case for the Vina Diezmo Rioja Reserva 2016. Located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Vina Diezmo aims to produce wines that express the character of Tempranillo. Their Reserva comes from a historic vineyard in the foothills of the Cantabria Mountains, a dramatic, high-altitude landscape at the very edge of the appellation. It's the ideal terroir for producing fine, elegant, and traditional Rioja with amazing cellaring potential. Aromas of baked plums, bright black and red cherries, vanilla, and wild rosemary show off a wine that’s complete and harmonious. Three time gold medalist, and winner of the Grand Prix d'Honneur in Bordeaux, this Rioja Reserve is outstanding for $42, let alone $17.99!
"This deep garnet wine has aromas of raspberry, vanilla and coffee bean. Flavors of black cherry, strawberry, dark chocolate and clove play on the tongue among opulent tannins, winding down to a spicy finish. Editor's Choice." The Wine Enthusiast, 94 Points
