$25, 5 stars, 91 points, rioja, spain, viura, white grenache


Medium lemon colored with high viscosity legs (13.5% ABV).  The nose has medium intensity aromas of lemon rind, Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, white flower, honeydew and a nut component.  The palate is dry with medium acidity and a rather large dose of bitterness right off the bat.  The body is medium and I get flavors of Meyer lemon, brioche, some baking spice, melon and hazelnut.  This wine has obviously seen some oak and perhaps a little lees stirring.  The finish is quite lengthy- with bitter hazelnut skins and lemon notes alongside the brioche and vanilla. It runs $25 and gets 91 points from me.  I would drink till 2028 with heavier dishes of chicken, perhaps an Alfredo.  This blend of 70 % Viura and 30% White Grenache gets 5 stars.  Salut….
