Now it’s 5% Graciano with 95% Tempranillo, aged three years in older American oak. The process delivers refined tannins and a classic structure of integrated fruit, acidity, and medium-bodied power with a lasting, gravelly mineral profile. Age 15-20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e:  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2017 Gran Reserva Viña Arana is 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano from Rioja Alta. It presents a sun-kissed profile, with moderately intense red fruit and balsamic wood aromas complemented by toffee, mild mushroom and background oak before cherry emerges later. Dry and taut with a fine-grained texture, it delivers persistent flavor with a touch of tannic grip reflecting the vintage's short cycle following a spring frost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51529764503873,"sku":"01-25110","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/1688\/1467\/files\/r9y8j1w55wwn1k1tdbfg.jpg?v=1774557492","url":"https:\/\/vintagewinessd.com\/products\/2017-la-rioja-alta-vina-arana-gran-reserva","provider":"Vintage Wines San Diego","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
