Caló Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2007

Sourced by Javier Murua from the famed high altitude (600m) of Rioja Alavesa in the foothills of Spain’s Cantabrian Mountains. The cool climate and low yielding chalky clay soils result in elegant and intensely flavoured wines with fine tannins.
 
Rated very highly by the Tasting Panel, this is a bright and expressive Rioja. It has a good medium red colour with aromas of plum, blackberry and cedar. The medium weight palate shows seamless line and length. Fresh and juicy with great acid balance, mouth-watering tannins and a savoury persistence.
