2018 Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana Gold, Rioja DOCa, Spain Remo Farina The 2020 Chardonnay Mae EstateSmoky, toasty oak takes center stage on the nose of this fine Rioja. It's full and fruity on the palate yet has enough levity to allow the flavors to breathe. Strong barrel notes frame its salt, dried red fruit and cocoa flavors. Complex, ageworthy and high in quality. Wine Enthusiast (DAMAGED LABELS)
