A blend led by Tempranillo with a touch of Graciano, it opens with lifted aromas of dried cherry, red plum, tobacco leaf, cedar, and subtle vanilla from extended American oak aging. The palate is silky and refined, unfolding layers of ripe red berries, balsamic nuances, sweet spice, and hints of leather, all framed by finely integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Meticulous cellaring lends harmony and depth, while the finish is long, savory, and gently persistent. A classic Gran Reserva that honors heritage while remaining impeccably balanced, it shines alongside roast lamb, game, or aged Manchego.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoints:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 - James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutellier Wines","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":51800694227227,"sku":"LRABARQ17","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/6743\/6571\/files\/52637A7E-E902-4559-88FA-680A0E9FCA7F.jpg?v=1772850946"},{"product_id":"little-boat-pinot-noir-russian-river-valley-2023","title":"Little Boat Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2023","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"160\" data-start=\"98\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"153\" data-end=\"845\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe Little Boat Pinot Noir, crafted from Russian River Valley offers a savory, classic expression of terroir.
