The Story: Sisters Ana and Ruth De Andres' Milenrama project brings life to the best of Ribera del Duero and Rioja. In the latter, they work atop two mountains, Peña Isasa and Siera de Yerga, down a gentle landscape scattered with hills and valleys opening at the bottom to the Cidacos river; all packed with vineyards in a distinctly Mediterranean climate.
Why You’ll Love Me: Pours an alluring red, with a very complex nose, with fresh fruity aromas together with spices, tobacco and dried fruits. Perfectly integrated and velvety on the palate, it unspools with smooth tannins and a long finish from 18 months in a blend of French and American oak.
