Bodegas Olarra Cerro Añon Gran Reserva 2019
| Category | Red Wine |
| Brand | Bodegas Olarra |
| Origin | Spain |
Cerro Añón is Olarra's flagship range, and the Gran Reserva sits at the top of it — held back for years in American oak and bottle before release, in the traditional Rioja manner. American oak is the signature here, giving coconut, vanilla, and dill alongside the Tempranillo's red fruit and leather. Ready to drink on release, which is the whole point of the category. Serve with lamb or hard cheese.

Dark ruby in the glass, this wine has aromas of Mission fig, cured ham and black olives. Cassis, dark plum, smoke, dried Mediterranean herb and roasted red pepper flavors are set into forceful tannins that slowly peel away to reveal a smoky finish. — Mike DeSimone
