2017 Condado de Oriza Ribera del Duero Reserva
We had a good feeling about this bottle, and it lived up to it all the way. A 2017 Ribera del Duero Reserva at Costco for $12.99. Love it.
Fans of Spanish wines like Ribera, Toro or Rioja shouldn’t wait a second to scoop some of these up, especially at this price. We feel this wine drinks 2-3X its meager price. 93 from Suckling is close this time around.
The wine is a medium ruby in the glass, earthy nose; tannins are starting to soften, the wine feels great in the mouth; medium body, elegant all around; flavors of black cherry, plum with notes of dark chocolate; smoky, earthy and dry in the finish.
We’re big fans of this style from Spain (wrote a whole book on it in fact). It’s elegant and interesting with each sip. And a good one for all types of food pairing.
This might be one of the most affordable bottles to make our Recommended wine list. Go Costco.
