Cerro Añón Gran Reserva 2018

The Alto Najerilla in the southern part of the Rioja Alta sub-region is the predominant source of this nicely judged assemblage of Tempranillo with 15% Mazuelo and Graciano for backbone. Perfumed, engaging and sweetly wooded, it partners vanilla spice and cinnamon aromas with a palate of blackberry and blueberry supported by graceful tannins and bright acidity. 2024-29

Aromas of Mission fig, mocha and aniseed waft from the glass. Dark berry and baking spice flavors mingle on the palate alongside well-balanced acidity, robust tannins and notes violet and coffee bean. The energetic finish is marked with a touch of orange zest.
