Ramón Bilbao 2007 “Edición Limitada” Rioja Crianza, Spain ($28.00, #441139)

We keep to a rich and bold theme with Ramón Bilbao’s “Limited Edition” Rioja. Generous and juicy sum up this fruit-forward Rioja, which is 100 per cent Tempranillo and spends 14 months in a combo of new French and American oak barrels. In the glass it wafts big aromas of black cherry, vanilla, and generous t oast and smoke, thanks to the aforementioned time in wood. This Rioja beckons for gut-sticking grub hot off the grill, whether it’s juicy burgers or saucy ribs.

Bottom line: B-“also great poured around

a campfire!”
