The purple-colored 2006 Coto de Imaz Reserva is 100% Tempranillo that spent 18 months in American oak. A vein of earthy minerality, leather, violets, Asian spices, and blackberry are some of the nuances that emerge as the wine sits in the glass. The wine’s density and overall balance are stellar. Drink this well-priced Reserva through 2018. El Coto de Rioja is a widely distributed brand of mostly traditionally styled Rioja that generally offers very good value.Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; Tel. (202) 355-0700
