Bodegas Riojanas Monte Real Gran Reserva Rioja 2011 Dundee Hills Dry Riesling from the HerrenlettenBlackberry, prune, raisin, leather and tar aromas are full but refined on the nose. On the palate, this is tight and finely focused. Flavors of blackberry, vanilla and coffee finish steady, with calm, complex notes of tobacco and marzipan rising to the fore of a steady finish. Drink this excellent gran reserva through 2030. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
