Muga 2004 Rioja Reserva, Rioja

Muga is a perennial favorite here at the Wine School, and for good reason: It’s wines, from the value-priced white Rioja to the majestic Torre Muga, are, quite simply, delicious. This one is no different, its ripe fruit balanced by a distinct minerality, and all of it wrapped up in a structure as elegant and polished as you’ve come to expect from this great producer.
