90 Points from Wine Advocate
On Sale for Only $12.99
Our featured wine this week comes from one of the top producers in Spain's Ribera del Duero region, Bodegas Emilio Moro. This winery is famous for its flagship Malleolus series of single-vineyard wines which regularly score in the high 90s and retail over $100. Several years ago they introduced a wine called Finca Resalso, which is 100% Tinto Fino(the local clone of the Tempranillo grape) from some of their younger vineyards in order to provide a quality wine at a lesser price point. It appears that they've hit the nail on the head with this one, as it received a 90 point rating from the Wine Advocate, which also offered the following tasting note:
"The 2007 Finca Resalso was sourced from younger vines and aged in French oak for four months. Dark ruby-colored, it emits an enticing perfume of mineral, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. On the palate it reveals an elegant personality, savory, spicy flavors, good depth, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink this tasty effort over the next four years."
Regularly priced at $15.99, this week the 2007 Emilio Moro Finca Resalso is on sale for only $12.49
