Sierra de Toloño
La Dula Garnachas de Altura
La Rioja, Spain
Making Arroz con Pollo, so this seems appropriate. I love seeking out Garnachas in Rioja, since I love the terroir but am not a huge Tempranillo fan. The very slight fizziness on pop’n pour and the hint of funk on the nose suggests natty or near-natty methods. Earth and a little barnyard accompany tart mountain red berries, cherries, and pomegranate. The slight barnyard carries through on the palate, with a leather note enveloping the cherry fruit. The tannins are young but not so dominant that they detract. Acidity is medium. Very distinctive wine. It will be interesting to how it develops over the next couple of hours (i.e., will it go deeper into the farm or shake it off and show more fruit character).
