'14 Martinez Lacuesta Rioja Reserva Hinia
Couldn't load pickup availability
Their 2014 Hinia Reserva was a standout amongst the four aged "Reserva" level wines we tasted - Note they they don't print "Reserva" on the front label as they see it as a bit of a joke seeing that they age their Reservas exponentially longer than is required.
"Released 11 years after bottling, the 2014 Hinia is a traditional blend of Tempranillo (85%), Graciano (10%), and Mazuelo (5%), aged 26 months in older American oak barrels. Made in a more upfront ripe, fruity style than barrel-dominant, it has a depth of full-bodied red fruit, fine tannins, and great acidity that helps balance the concentration. There’s a touch of dried fruit and balsamic on the finish. It should last another 10 years. 93 points." - Virginia Boone, Jeb Dunnuck 11/25
