Viña Eguía, Rioja Reserva (Spain) 2014

Jan 16, 2019

By Michael Apstein

 Here’s yet another example of why Rioja can be such a treasure trove of value-paced wines.  Viña Eguía’s Reserva, made entirely from Tempranillo, provides a lovely balance of vibrant red fruit-like flavors and savory nuances.  The modest 13.5 percent-stated alcohol belies the weight and depth of the wine.  It would be a good choice for roasted pork or sautéed chicken thighs with mushrooms.
