Gómez Cruzado Rioja Reserva 2012
Whilst yields were relatively low in 2012 due to low rainfall, this was a great year for crafting wines with beautifully ripe fruit and complexity - perfect for ageing. This Reserva is the result of a perfect combination of Tempranillo fruit from different terroirs - the alluvial soils give ripeness and elegance, whilst the limestone-clay soils add structure and silkiness.
Pronounced black cherry, cedar and spice aromas. The palate is supple yet richly-flavoured with layers of dark plum, bramble fruit and cherry supported by well-integrated tannins. Toasty notes, black pepper and dried fruit characters on the finish. Pair with a heart stew or richly-flavoured sausages.
