Deeply colored once in the glass, the 2016 ‘Generation MC’ Rioja opens with intense dark cherry syrup and toasty oak that mingles with lighter orange rind tones on the nose. The palate is plush, delivering both good freshness and a soft texture that entices. Black tea, exotic spices and wild blackberry cobbler mingle with the lighter orange zest undertones on the palate. Thick and juicy, this would be a great pairing for a rich ribeye steak as this classy effort will cellar well for a decade.
