Eguren Codice Tinto 2016

Vino de la Tierra de Castilla –wine of the earth of Castilla has a nice ring to it but what’s even better is what I find here in the glass –a glass of Tempranillo that has seen six months in French and American oak casks and has mellowed into a sipping red that has a core of plum fruit and a pronounced Asian Five Spice that is as engaging as it is appetizing proving just how remarkable the Eguren Family is –especially when crafting wines from vines planted at lofty elevations up to 2,700 feet.

Food Pairings

Very versatile. The better cuts of lamb. Most any meat braised or stewed. Game birds and poultry, especially duck.
