The 2004 Vina El Pison is purple/black in color with an ethereal bouquet found only in the greatest wines. Vanilla, spice box, truffle, wild blueberry, black raspberry, and blackberry liqueur are descriptors that come to mind but which cannot really convey the other-worldy nature of this perfume. On the palate, it is opulent, beautifully delineated, elegant and powerful all at the same time. Impeccably balanced and amazingly long, this wine is a pleasure to drink now but will still be providing pleasure 40-50 years from now (with good storage). Kudos to Bodegas Artadi for this tour de force!
Producer
Bodegas y Vinedos Artadi
One of Rioja’s best, Artadi produces wines that represent the natural balance of the environment, as well as the personality of their land. Their 85 hectares of vineyards are farmed organically with the use of biodynamic and sustainable practices that preserve the land’s biodiversity. The great wonder behind this estate is Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, who purchased the bodega from the founding cooperative group of growers. Known for their robust fruit-driven style – different from traditional Riojas – their wines have opened the doors for modern Riojan spirit to shine. With soils full of life, the estate offers several fearless bottlings, including their three single-vineyard wines – Valdeginés, La Poza de Ballesteros, El Carretil, and the outstanding family vineyard: El Pisón.
