Bodegas Urbina, Reserva Especial 2006

The winemaking tradition at Bodegas Urbina dates back to as early as 1870. It is a family-owned wine estate that has been very particular about growing exceptional quality of grapes for more than 150 years. Nestled in the Rioja Alta region of Spain, Bodegas Urbina wines are known for their distinct flavour and character. Reserva Especial 2006 is made from 100% Tempranillo; the grapes were harvested and aged in oak for 2 years in oak and 2 years in bottle prior to release. The nose has notes of red cherry, strawberry, vanilla and tobacco. The palate is smooth and refined, with notes of dried herbs and leather along with some black cherry. A gorgeous mature wine and one paired best with a lamb or game.
