Winery review: "90 pts, Robert Parker. The 2009 Urban Ribera, from what looks to be a great vintage, was aged in French oak for 4 months. Deep purple in color with an inviting perfume of violets, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry, on the palate it is layered, plush, and intense. While likely to evolve for 1-2 years this outstanding value can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-6 years."
My review:Such a tasty wine! This lovely red had a very enticing purple color. The legs were great and the nose was delicious. The bouquet had loads of violet, blackcherry, and spice. The taste of this wine was complex and very tasty. First the dark fruit and blackberry flood your palate. The mid-palate is rich and complex with hints of chocolate and balsamic vinegar. This wine has a solid finish. Would love to drink a whole bottle of this!
