This week I have found 2 brand new to Virginia Rioja's that represent incredible quality/price ratio.  Both of these wines have already received 90+ points and are drinking beautifully.  In addition, with the temps heating up more 2013 Dry Rose's are arriving and Spain has always offered serious bang for the buck in this category too.  Scroll down for all the tasting notes and reply to this email to reserve yours today. 

The Wines

Bodega Classica Lopez de Haro Rioja Crianza 2008

Bottle $12.99  mix 6 $11.69  Mix 12 $10.99

Robert Parker 90 Points  The 2008 Hacienda Lopez de Haro Crianza is a blend of 93% Tempranillo and 7% Garnacha aged for 18 months in French and American oak. It has a mellow bouquet of dried herbs, terracotta tiles and dusky black fruit that is very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin: tart red berried fruit, laced with tobacco and dried herbs on the dry, crisp finish. This is a superb classical Rioja Crianza. Drink now-2020.

Bodega Classica Lopez de Haro Rioja Reserva 2005

Bottle $15.99  mix 6 $14.39  Mix 12 $13.59

Robert Parker 92 Points "The 2005 Hacienda Lopez de Haro Reserva is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 5% Garnacha aged for 20 months in French and American oak. It has a beautiful, rounded, sensual bouquet with hints of over-ripe Satsuma and gravel. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of piquancy on the entry. It has crisp acidity and taut tannins on the dry, dusky finish but it remains extremely well-focused. Drink now-2025." ~
