Pleno Gran Reserva 2015 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Pleno's Gran Reserva from Navarra is an opulent, full-bodied red wine offering notes of dark cherry, coffee, violet and dried herbs. This dry wine displays polished tannins and concentrated fruit that reflect its extended aging and excellent vintage. Serve it at room temperature with grilled lamb chops with rosemary as the wine's herbaceous character complements the aromatic seasoning, or pair it with aged manchego and quince paste where the wine's richness balances the sharp cheese and sweet fruit. Winemaker Javier Hernández crafts this Gran Reserva from carefully selected parcels, aging the wine extensively in oak to develop layers of complexity while maintaining freshness. Navarra has long stood in the shadow of neighboring Rioja, but forward-thinking producers like Pleno are showcasing the region's potential for crafting world-class wines at exceptional prices. This luxurious Gran Reserva represents outstanding value and will continue to evolve through 2030.

Food pairings: veal Porterhouse, grilled sirloin steak, lentil stew.
