2009 La Montesa, Herencia Remondo, Crianza, Bodegas Palacios Remondo

La Montesa, Herencia Remondo, Crianza, Bodegas Palacios Remondo
Alvaro Palacios is doing great things in the Rioja Baja, once seen as the poor relation to the more established Alta and Alavasa sub-regions, with a history of dusty co-operatives and rather simple Garnacha based wines. Garnacha still has a part to play, of course, but it is no longer the majority shareholder here.

This Montesa is a blend of 45% Tempranillo, 40% Garnacha, and 15% shared between Graciano and Mazuelo ; the assemblage has been aged aged in French oak for 14 months. The acclaimed 2009 vintage has yielded a rich and generous wine, with notes of hedgerow, blackberries, vanillin and spice all evidenced on the palate. Excellent length and fine tannins complete the picture; a classic Riojan coda, but played on modern instruments.
