Marques Murrieta, Rioja Reserva Brut Zero spice and earth are all

spice and earth are all present in this medium-bodied

The wine is pure and fresh

with a lingering

There is both good intensity and detail to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that culminate in a mildly austere and rustic but solidly complex and persistent finish

without any loss of energy

Marques Murrieta, Rioja Reserva Brut Zero spice and earth are allFabulous aromas of crushed berry and dark fruits with walnuts, hazelnuts, and ginger. Cinnamon and honey melon too. Full bodied, very tight and firm. Linear backbone of fruit and tannins. Very long and racy. 22 months in American oak (six months new and then racked into used). Beautiful now but needs another two or three years to soften. A triumph.
