Critical Acclaim

James Suckling

Some berry and chocolate with a hint of hazelnut. Medium body, firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Always excellent.

Jeb Dunnuck

A step up in price, the 2015 Crianza checks in as 100% Tempranillo that spent 14 months in used French and American oak as well as being held a year in bottle. It has more serious notes of blackcurrants, scorched earth, lead pencil, and spice box. Rich, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and elegant on the palate, it's a rock-solid, outstanding bottle of wine that has character as well as quality. Drink it over the coming 15+ years.

Discover Rioja Wines

Rioja is a Spanish wine area where grapes are produced in the autonomous community of La Rioja and Navarre, as well as the Basque province of Lava. Rioja is split into three zones: Alta Rioja, Oriental Rioja, and Alavesa Rioja. Many wines have historically combined grape varieties from all three areas, but single-zone wines are becoming more popular.

Rioja is made from a variety of grapes, with Tempranillo being the most prominent. Garnacha is often used to give fruitiness to the mix; Mazuelo (sometimes called as Cariena) and Graciano may also be used.

Rioja wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon, is renowned for its structure and tannins, but it also has a fruity flavor. This makes it ideal for wine lovers who like Cabernet but also want to taste the strong cherry flavor found in Pinot Noir wines.

Rioja is as age-worthy as Bordeaux and Burgundy wines, although it is less well-known than its more well-known counterparts. This means that a fantastic bottle of age-worthy Rioja can be had for a fraction of the price of a comparable bottle of Bordeaux or Burgundy. Rioja wine, like many other Old World wines, gets its name from the Rioja area where it is produced.
