Rioja
Rioja is a medium-bodied wine made from a blend of grape varieties, with Tempranillo being the dominate grape. Vintners often blend in Garnacha to add some fruitiness to the finished wine. With aromas and flavors of cherry, plum, tomato, vanilla, dill, and clove, it pairs well with roasted vegetables, beef, lamb, cured meats, and sharp cheeses.
