Composed of the same grapes in the same percentages as the Crianza, the Reserva is a barrel selection of wines that Ángel Escudero feels can undergo longer aging in barrel and then in bottle. Aged a total of 27 months in barrels, then into concrete for more than a year, the Reserva also sees bottle aging until Ángel deems it ready for release. This wine ramps up the intensity of the Crianza, with more pungent fruit as well as a real spicy and wild quality. As with many of the best Riojas, this wine is quite delicious right now if you want to drink some b...

93 points John Gilman: "The 2009 Monte Real Gran Reserva is an excellent wine, offering up a complex and now nicely mature bouquet of red and black raspberries, Cuban cigar wrapper, cinnamon and clove-like spice tones, a lovely base of quite salty soil tones, a hint of celery seed and a lovely framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and starting to get quite velvety on the attack, with a lovely core and soil signature, still a fair bit of ripe tannin and a long, tangy and very complex finish. At twelve years of age, this wine i...

Finally, the great 2010 Gran Reserva from our favorite Rioja winery has arrived! As is the case with so many other great spots in Spain, Bodega Casa Juan is located opposite the village church, in the beautiful walled pueblo of Laguardia. The winery is a converted flour mill, featuring concrete tanks for fermenting and blending the wine, and barrels that are used for up to seven years. These are traditional Riojas in elaboration and spirit, though the site specificity of their Laguardia and Villabuena vineyards confers a fruit character all its own to th...

Prado Rey is an estate that can trace its origins back to Queen Isabela, yes that Queen Isabela. This country retreat just happened to be located in the heart of the "Golden Triangle", the best real estate in RIbera del Duero. It is one of the largest estates in the region but they are not the largest growers of grapes, only a small portion of their estate is under vine. Their wines are all estate grown. The Valdelayegua is a single vineyard. The altitude of the vineyard is almost 800m. The soils are sandy clay loam with some limestone. The wine is a...

Wine Spectator: "Silky and spicy, this lovely maturing red shows cherry, dried cherry, vanilla and light tobacco notes, still bright but supple on the finish. Balanced and light. (TM)" (06/2010) K&L Notes: The 2018 is delicious. It is a classic Lesmos from a classic vintage. The blend is 85% Tempranillo and 15% Manzuelo. It was aged for 14 months in oak, then blended and bottled. This has that great mix of dark and red fruits, spice, and a subtle but distinctive earthiness.

Jesús Puelles is one of the most talented vignerons in Rioja. Hailing from a long line of vineyard worker/owners, Puelles knows the terruño in his little slice of land in the Rioja Alta town of Abalos. All of the grapes for his red wines come from his own 26 hectares, on chalky clay soil, all within the Rioja Alta village of Abalos. Felix, Jesús's older brother, handles the winemaking (as well as packing all our orders--gracias, Felix!). Utilizing a blend of roughly 50-50 French and American oak barrels, generally of 1-4 years of age for the Gran Reserva...

In this case, they want it to show the fruit expression of the vineyard without oak. They call it the new old concept in Rioja, what the wines used to be before the arrival of the French, pure fruit. It's a blend of 65% Garnacha from Cárdenas and Cordovín and 35% Tempranillo from Samaniego that fermented destemmed but uncrushed (so not exactly a carbonic maceration) wi...

91 points Wine Advocate: "In the early times, the Reserva was sold as Miguel Merino in the best vintages and Vitola in the minor vintages. Since 2010-2011, the concept changed, and the Vitola was produced with cooler and less-ripe vines and looking for more tension and less structure, using less new oak and more French barrels. The 2017 Vitola Reserva shows very good for the challenging vintage; the wine show some evolution, and the profile seems to be turning a little bit more classical, like both styles are converging, at least with the 2017.

The first thing that you will notice after you have brought this box of wine home with you is that it says Rioja nowhere on it.
