2008 Faustino V Rioja Reserva

A wine that shoes great balance, velvety tannins and smooth character.  A gem from the folks at Faustino, this wine features aromas of cherry jam, spice, soil and cigar box that repeat themselves on the palate.  An absolutely delicious wine, and a Mike’s Must Have! Drink tonight with pepper steaks or wood oven pizzas.
