Alegre Valgañón Rioja Tinto 2021, 0.75L
Tempranillo Blend from Rioja, La Rioja
“The 2021 Rioja regular bottling from Oscar Alegre and Eva Valgañón is made from a blend of tempranillo and garnacha from several different villages, with the idea to source the tempranillo from northern sectors ideally suited to this grape and to do the same for the garnacha, from the foothills to the south. The wine comes in at fourteen percent octane in 2021 and was given sixteen months aging in cask prior to bottling. It offers up a complex and nicely red fruity bouquet of raspberries, cherries, clove-like spice tones, a fine base of soil elements, cigar smoke, cedar and a nice touch of spiced meats from the garnacha in the blend. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and tangy, with excellent depth at the core, fine-grained tannins, lovely balance and a long, complex and very promising finish. This is an outstanding bottle in the making." 93, John Gilman, View From The Cellar, Jan 2024

Bodegas Hermanos Pecina Rioja Senorio de Pecina Crianza 2017, 0.75L
Tempranillo from Rioja Alta, La Rioja
."The 2017 Crianza Señorío de P. Peciña is a blend of 95% Tempranillo, 3% Graciano and 2% Garnacha sourced from the Sonsierra area in Rioja Alta. Aged for 24 months in used American oak barrels, this garnet wine with a brick sheen features a nose of red apple peel and cherry, along with cedar, vanilla and hints of coconut and nutmeg. Dry, juicy and fairly rough due to its high volatile acidity, it lingers on the pronounced volatile notes, adopting an oxidized style." Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Dec 2023

Bodegas Hermanos Pecina Rioja Senorio de Pecina Gran Reserva 2014, 0.75L
Tempranillo from Rioja Alta, La Rioja
“The 2014 Señorío de P Peciña Gran Reserva feels quite developed and tertiary with notes of iodine, brick dust, sweet spices and a polished mouthfeel. It feels like a lighter Gran Reserva with a more delicate palate, 13.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.45. Ideal with food. It matured in used American oak barrels for 48 months and was racked every six months. 7,000 bottles were filled in November 2019.” 92, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Feb, 2024

Bodegas Hermanos Pecina Rioja Senorio de Pecina Reserva 2014, 0.75L
Tempranillo from Rioja Alta, La Rioja
"The 2014 Rioja “Reserva” from Señorío de P. Peciña is another beautiful current release from this great bodegas. The wine is showing far more secondary complexity on the nose than the lovely 2015 Crianza bottling, wafting from the glass in an utterly refined blend of cherries, raspberries, cigar smoke, salty soil tones, cloves, allspice, incipient nutskin and a lovely foundation of coconutty American oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and already nicely velvety, with a sappy core of fruit, lovely mineral undertow, suave, mellowing tannins and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. Great juice. (Drink between 2022-2065)" 93+, John Gilman, View from the Cellar

CVNE Cune Rioja Reserva Imperial 2018, 0.75L
Tempranillo / Graciano / Mazuelo from Rioja Alta, La Rioja
"The red 2018 Imperial Reserva keeps the brand profile of finesse, precision and power, produced with grapes that were picked between October 8th and 26th in a year like in the past—cold, rain and snow followed by a warm summer. It's a blend of Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha that were put through optical sorting and fermented in oak vats with a 20-day maceration. It matured in barrel for 24 months. It's 14% alcohol and has a pH of 3.57. It's a textbook Reserva from Haro, fine-tuning the grapes they use here trying to control the power of this cuvée, which has to be powerful but keeping the freshness. This is quite young and lively, quite impressive, really very good, getting close to the complexity of a Gran Reserva but with the extra oomph of its youth. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021." 94, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Jul 2022

Muga Reserva 2018, 0.375L
Tempranillo Blends from Rioja Alta, La Rioja
"This was the only red that Muga made in 2018, and the wines from the best vineyards went into the blend. In other words, top vineyards were declassified. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are caressing and refined. Plenty of subtle berries, chocolate and walnuts. Tempranillo with garnacha, mazuelo and graciano. January 2021 release. Drink or hold" 94 Points, James Suckling, JamesSukling.com
