Biurko Gorri Arbanta Rioja

Hello Wine Lovers!

Well, we did it! Our little girls is married and (as I write this) celebrating her marriage in Positano Italy!(I posted a picture of the village for you to see) It Sucks to be her! The wedding was absolutely perfect. It was flawless, of course I had my issues... crying when I first saw her in her dress, during the speech, and of course during the actual ceremony, but overall, I would have to say I held it together! Don't ask my daughter... she may have an entirely different spin on things.

Now the wine, another great value from Spain, Arbanta Rioja. About $9 at Wine Discount Center. This wine is 100% Tempranillo, from vines of 15 to 20 years old, fermented in stainless steel, no oak, with natural yeasts. Arbanta does not age in barrels like most red wine from Rioja, which is why it is so pure and the fruit shines through! Red fruit and spice with a touch of smoke in the nose, plum and bittersweet cherry with enough acidity to make your mouth drool.
Delicious and unmasked by oak! You will be blown away by this wine for the money!
The Tempranillo vineyard for Arbanta is located in the small town of Bargota in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains. The farming method is organic, another nice selling point, with use of plant and animal-based fertilizers to keep the soil healthy. My suggestion is to go to the store and buy this before it is all gone!
