2020 Vina Zorzal El Inquilino Rioja Rojo

From: Rioja, SpainVarietal: 90% Tempranillo & 10% Garnacha Taste: Clean, high intensity aromas of red & black fruit such us raspberry, bing cherry, blackcurrant. Gentle spices like sweet tobacco and clove round out the fruit, a hint of leather also present. On the palate, this little Rioja that could is shockingly fresh for its age, with soft, rounded tannins and medium in body. Those red & black fruit flavors and gentle baking spice notes follow on the palate, along with a slaty mineral hint and a long finish. Pairing: Ideal accompaniment for cured ham, stews, game and meat dishes as well as paella, most other rice-focused cuisines & dishes that incorporate Mediterranean spices. We’re sharing J. Kenji López-Alt’s recipe for Vegan Turkish Kebabs With Sumac Onions and Garlic-Dill Mayonnaise as our pairing recommendation today to highlight a savory and meatless alternative. About. The winery.
