Bodegas Muga is considered one of Rioja's finest estates, producing both traditionally-minded Rioja and "new wave" wonders from its picturesque location in Haro. A traditional blend of Tempranillo (70 percent), Garnacha (20 percent), Mazuelo and Graciano (10 percent), this Reserva is aged for almost three years in barrel before spending a year resting in bottle prior to arriving on our shores. The extended aging gives the finished wine the suppleness and complexity for which Rioja is prized. Appealing aromas and flavors of ripe cherry and spiced vanilla work well with everything from cured meats to stews and light to heavy roasts. |

Wine Spectator
Black cherry mingles with light herbal and smoky flavors in this firm, fresh red, with an earthy note adding depth. The tannins are firm, the acidity fresh. Light-bodied, but has drive. Drink now through 2014. Thomas Matthews

Deep ruby. Powerful cherry and blackberry on the nose, with alluring smoked meat and licorice notes and a suggestion of candied rose. Full, fleshy dark berry and bitter cherry flavors are lifted by a gentle mineral note and nicely supported by silky tannins. Gains sweetness on the persistent finish, which features an exotic note of resiny, cured tobacco. This is the only wine that Muga commercialized from the 2007 vintage. Josh Raynolds
