La Vicalanda Spanish Red
A small allocation Rioja Reserva, hand picked for Commack.
The story behind La Vicalanda
Rioja Reserva is a Spanish red with real time in it. Tempranillo leads the blend, aged in oak and then in bottle before release, so it pours smooth and savory rather than tight and fruity. Expect dried cherry, cedar, leather and a soft, food friendly finish.
We keep a small shelf of Spanish reds at our Commack store, and La Vicalanda Rioja Reserva 750mL is one of the bottles we carry in very limited quantity. Call ahead and we will confirm what is on hand.
