Natalie's Score: 93/100

Cune’s 2019 Reserva, a vegan Rioja Alta blend dominated by Tempranillo, radiates graceful poise from the first swirl. Black cherry, mulberry, and a trace of toasted cocoa mingle with potpourri and clove, nuances shaped by 18 months in French and American oak. The mid-weight palate flows seamlessly, framed by supple, melt-in tannins and a lively acidic snap. Pair its harmony with smoked meats or gourmet burgers and enjoy now through 2027.

Food pairings: smoked meats, burgers, ribs.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
