FROM GALLOWAY’S WINE & BEER SHOP
🍷 Bodegas Hermanos Peciña Señorío de P. Peciña Rioja Reserva 2016 – $38
A true taste of old-world Rioja, this Reserva from the Sonsierra area of Rioja Alta is elegance bottled. Aged for 36 months in American oak, it opens with aromas of leather, vanilla, and spice layered over ripe red fruit. On the palate, it’s vibrant yet grounded—notes of fruit cake, cherry, and coconut linger through a long, mineral finish. Polished tannins and subtle oak make this a perfect pairing for roasted meats or aged cheese.
Troy Revell, our Wine Director, shares:
“This Rioja is everything I love about traditional winemaking — earthy, structured, and endlessly complex. The kind of bottle that reminds you why Spain’s classics never go out of style.”
