Natalie's Score: 91/100

Izadi Reserva 2020 is a refined Rioja crafted entirely from Tempranillo. Its bouquet showcases a vibrant mix of ripe cherries, tangy currants, and luscious plums, woven together with rich chocolate and subtle spice nuances. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, revealing layers of juicy dark berries that culminate in a tightly structured yet creamy finish accented by hints of toasted hazelnut, extra chocolate, and a touch of orange peel. Sourced from vineyards in Rioja Alavesa—nestled near the cooling influence of the Atlantic and established in 1987—this wine is both elegant and outstanding for its value. Enjoy it now or cellar it for further evolution through 2030. For an authentic Spanish pairing, try it with chorizo and Iberico ham, tapas, or hard cheeses.

Food pairings: hard cheeses, charcuterie of chorizo and Iberico ham, tapas.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.

The Financial Times of London

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.
