title: Valdelacierva 2012 Alfar Vendimia Seleccionada  (Rioja)
description: Cedary oak aromas are draped heavily over this smoky, dark, cheesy-smelling Rioja. The mouthfeel is tight, tannic and resiny, but also spunky and properly acidic. Raw oak, coconut and vanilla accent dark-berry core flavors, while the finish is much like the bouquet: toasty and woody.
variety: Tempranillo
designation: Alfar Vendimia Seleccionada
