2015 Bodega Akutain Gran Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain Noah's Mill 2016 Annie et Philippe BornardThe Akutain Gran Reserva is comprised of mostly Tempranillo with Garnacha. It was fermented with native yeasts in fiberglass vats, and raised in older American oak for around 3 years, with another 2 years in the bottle before release. Only made in excellent years. This is traditional Grower Rioja at its best. Importer's note
