""The 2003 Rivola is a blend of 60% Tempranillo and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon which spent 12 months in oak. Medium ruby in color, it offers up red currant and spice aromas and flavors in a forward wine with supple texture. It should be drunk over the next two years and, as usual, it is a very good value. "" Drink by 2009. ""Dried cherry and light raisin flavors mingle with notes of herb and vanilla in this plump red. The tannins are a bit firm on the finish. Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2009."" Wine Spectator rated 81. |
