Avg Price ex-tax 20 750ml 90 100 from 3 Critic Reviews
The wines of Spains leading red wine region Rioja DOCa are constructed predominantly from Tempranillo with smaller percentages of Garnacha Mazuelo and Graciano to fill out.
The Eguren Ugarte Reserva 2015 is a blend of 90% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha, 3% Mazuelo, and 2% Graciano. The grapes were hand-harvested from low-yielding vines in the Rioja Alta sub-zone. The wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. It has an intense ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruit, spice, and oak. The palate is full-bodied with a good balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins. The finish is long and complex.
The Eguren Ugarte Reserva 2015 is a well-made wine that is typical of the Rioja style. It is a good choice for those who enjoy full-bodied red wines with a good balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins.
