Marques de Murrieta is a historic wine estate in Rioja, Spain dating back to the 1850’s. Beginning in 1983, Vincente Cebrian Sagarriga took over the estate and began a rapid transition into modernization. Under his tutelage, the estate thrived in terms of quality as well as maintaining a delicate balance between tradition and modernity. The 2015 Reserva Rioja is truly a stunning wine to behold. It is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 12% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo, and 2% Garnacha. This wine is a great example of the perfect balance of power and elegance rarely found in other bottles. Flavors of oak, ripe blackberry, smoke, dark cherry, meaty pan-drippings, tobacco, and cedar all jump from the glass. The finish is long and harmonious, with lots of dusty tannins complimented by a zing of acidity. Pair this wine with your favorite roasted meats or hearty vegetables. Personally, I would love a glass with some nice St. Louis style spareribs.
