Bodegas Proelio
Viñedos Viejos Rioja Garnacha
La Rioja, Spain
Nicely done. Uncomplicated but not simple. The restraint is evident. Just the right amount of sweet Grenache fruit (and I’ve usually not a Grenache fan).

I am always on the lookout for Rioja made from Garnacha (I love Garnacha but am not a huge Tempranillo fan). This is a bonkers value. Nose is kirsch, raspberries, and crushed stone dust. No oak influence I can detect. Vigorous and athletic, it’s got full body, lots of savory flavors, and decent acids. More than decent depth of flavor. Very food flexible.
