What better to go with Paella, a traditional Spanish dish, than a good, hearty Spanish red wine. The first one that springs to mind is Valsacro Rioja, a delicious blend of 70-year old Grenache, 28-year old Tempranillo & 25-year old Mazuelo. This is a serious, structured, backward effort displaying notes of lead pencil shavings, black cherries, cedar & licorice. It is a medium-bodied, attractive, elegant Rioja with moderately high tannin, excellent depth & fine purity as well as personality. Still tightly knit, it will benefit from another year or two of bottle age, and should last for a decade.
