title: Artadi 2008 Viñas de Gain  (Rioja)
description: Tight and edgy but ultimately oaky and generous on the nose, with earth, vanilla, dried cheese and blackberry notes. Feels cushioned and complete, with depth of feel and flavor; tastes of deep berry, mild herbs and finally a toasty wave of coffee and chocolate takes over. Impressive for a 2008; drink now through 2014.
variety: Tempranillo
designation: Viñas de Gain
