Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva

The wine in the silver-latticed bottle your grandparents might have kept for company. Riscal Reserva tastes of cedar chests and old leather armchairs, of vanilla drifting up from American oak like pipe smoke from another room. It is a wine for long chapters and longer evenings, for reading by lamplight with the sense that the house around you has stood a very long time.
