A perennial customer favorite and classic Rioja producer, Muga always delivers top quality from Spain's premier DOCa wine region. This 2014 release is here, with 92 points from Jeb Dunnuck. At over 25% off its list price, this is a no-brainer. Always elegant and subtle in style, this is a top wine for a fraction of what you'd pay in other premier wine regions. As a Rioja Reserva, it is aged a minimum of 3 years, with one year in oak, but in the case of Muga it spends almost 2 years in oak casks prior to bottle aging. Enjoy this sale for a limited time and while our supplies last!  2014 Muga Rioja Reserva "The 2014 Muga Reserva checks in as a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and the balance Mazuelo (aka Carignan) and Graciano. This deep ruby/purple-colored effort gives up textbook currants, smoked earth, leather, espresso, and graphite aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, ripe, voluptuous and sexy on the palate, with sweet tannin, it's a charming, forward vintage of this cuvée that dishes out loads of pleasure." --Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points! "The Muga family thinks the rains of 2014 benefited many of their vineyards, which are in cooler places at higher altitudes and take longer to ripen. So, they are really happy with their 2014 Reserva, the flagship bottling which delivers the Muga style and the typicity of the Rioja Alta at a very attractive price and with good availability because they produced one million bottles of it! They select the gentler sites from within the cooler parts of Rioja where their vineyards are located, as this is their more approachable red. It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts, matured in barriques for two winters and was bottled in its third year. It has the telltale aromas of spices and berry fruit, with the Muga signature and a medium-bodied palate with some dusty tannins that would welcome food. Drink: 2018 - 2023" --Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 Points! List Price: $32 Was: $25.99 LFW Sale: $22.99!! Over 25% Off List! | | |
