Sierra de Toloño, Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, Alavesa, 2013

After years making wine around the world, Sandra Bravo went back to his roots to start his own project. This second vintage from the highest and coolest vineyards in the area gives a lean Rioja, and while dense, sweet and lifted, the palate is tight, focused and gently oaked with complex, herbal depth.
