Vina Decana Utiel-Requena DO Reserva 2014

“Utiel-Requena is on the east coast of Spain in the region of Valencia. It sits on a flat, dry plateau just inland from the coast at about 700m above sea level. The unique climate makes for some interesting wines. While Bobal dominates the planting, Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cab Sauv and white grapes like Xarel-lo and Macabeo are also allowed. This blend of Garnacha and Bobal is big and bold, with dried fruits, warm spice and toasted vanilla exploding from the glass. Once opened give it some time to breathe and you’ll be suitably rewarded.” – 18/20, Wine Central Tasting Panel
Grenache and Bobal grapes create this dark, twisting and twirling Reserva.
Dark red in the glass with a nose of pepper and cinnamon. Winter spices and warm complexity at the core are framed by sot fruits and hints of butter and vanilla. A dry, biting finish thanks to a touch of acidity.
