Dave McIntyre was again pleased with one of our wines, though this one was from the other side of Europe. We have had the pleasure of working with Miguel and his son for about a year. Their stylish, old-vine Riojas have been a hit across the board.
Dave’s notes:
Miguel Merino Reserva 2001
** 1/2
Rioja, Spain, $30
Spice-box aromas of clove and nutmeg are interwoven with flavors of dried orange peel and dried cherries in this lovely, expressive, traditional-styled Rioja.
