Ramón Bilbao Gran Reserva 2014

Ramón Bilbao, located smack dab in the middle of the D.O.C. Rioja, releases a red wine that is dripping with passion and skill. The mix has the Tempranillo, Cariena, and Graciano grapes, which together create a symphony of flavors that are reminiscent of Spain's varied and fertile landscape.

The dark garnet color draws the eye, while the smell of crimson and black fruits, balsamic undertones, and hints of age delight the senses. It has a long, full body thanks to the balanced fruitiness and spices like vanilla, nutmeg, and oak.

Each sip takes you on a journey across time and space, capturing the essence of a really remarkable vintage and paying homage to the rich history of Rioja and Ramón Bilbao.
