2001 San Vicente Rioja
Lush and silky, this gorgeous, thoroughly modern Rioja could hold its own against the best reds of Bordeaux or Tuscany. One of the stars of the vintage, the beautifully crafted 2001 San Vicente Rioja is both sophisticated and earthy, tasting of ripe berries, chocolate and wild herbs.
