Winery Review: The 2009 Urban Ribera from what looks to be a great vintage, was aged in French oak for 4 months. Deep purple in color with an inviting perfume of violets, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry on the palate it is layered, plush and intense. While likely to evolve for 1-2 years, this outstanding value can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-6 years.
My Review: This wine had a floral, forest aroma. Upon tasting, there were hints of blackberry and had a tannic finish. The wine also seemed thin for a red.
I did not have this wine with food.
