Bodegas Roda Rioja Reserva Roda I 2019

$8599

Roda I is the flagship Reserva of the house — the bottling that crystallized Bodegas Roda's reputation as one of the references for modern Rioja. Where the regular Roda Reserva leans toward red fruit, Roda I is the darker, more structured wine: sourced from the very oldest vines, longer in barrel, more brooding in personality. The 2019 is a classically proportioned vintage in Rioja Alta, and this bottling captures it: black cherry and dark plum, graphite, cedar, and the kind of tannic spine that rewards a decade of cellaring. A serious Rioja for a serious occasion.

"The 2019 Roda I is 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano sourced from Haro in Rioja Alta. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels (50% new, 50% second use), this deep purple wine offers an intense oaky aroma. Notes of cherry and blackberry meet tutti-frutti, caramel, hard candy and sandalwood. Dry, rich and flavorful on the palate, this red offers a compact and juicy flow that lingers on the fruit—a delicate, rich Rioja." —Joaquín Hidalgo

"In the 2019 Roda I, I found notes that I had found in many 2019s—ripe black fruit, an earthy touch and a touch of dark spices. It's medium to full-bodied, combining power, concentration, ripeness and elegance in a clean and modern style. It matured in French oak barrels, 50% of them new, but it’s not really noticeable, for 16 months. 128,034 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022." —Luis Gutiérrez

"Long and supple, this harmonious red offers flavors of ripe black cherry and currant laced with cocoa powder, dried thyme, violet, mineral and smoked paprika notes. Its refined structure is framed by fine-grained, muscular tannins and balsamico-infused acidity. Tempranillo and a dollop of Graciano. Drink now through 2040."
