Reviewed July 2025Founded in 1991 in La Canoca by the Eguren family of Sierra Cantabria, the 2021 San Vicente is 100% Tempranillo from the highest area of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, the grapes a massal selection of a nearly extinct variety called Tempranillo Peludo. The vines are well-balanced to the region and climate and have profound acidity. Bordeaux barrels age the wine for 20 months. Salty and earthy, it has an old-world quality accented in rich black fruit, sous bois, oak spice, graphite, and dried herb, finishing with a complex finesse that should keep it singing another 20-25 years.

Wine Advocate
The 2021 San Vicente showcases the completeness of the year with a rare combination of power and elegance, with intensity of fruit, clout and very good freshness and the roundness of the tannins from the year. It has a lot of everything; the selection of Tempranillo used for this wine gave a lot of color, notes of aromatic herbs and ripe berry fruit and a solid palate, but it's fine-boned, with a beautiful texture. It's still young but already shows incipient complexity. It absorbed the new oak (French and American) pretty early, and the aromas and flavors are very integrated. It should be very long lived. This is one of the finest vintages for San Vicente. (LG)

Señorío de San Vicente is a stand-alone wine (and bodega) from the Eguren brothers, all sourced from their 18-hectare holdings in La Canoca, one of San Vicente de la Sonsierra's unofficial Grands Crus. Assertively wooded in new French and 10% American oak, it's a very polished, glossy expression of the Tempranillo Peludo clone with lots of texture, concentration and power, aromas of mountain herbs and cigar box, firm tannins, lots of acidity and compact dark berry fruit.

A deep wine with lots of color. Opulent as always, but there is a bit more freshness with restraint. The vintage sings here with violets, blackberries and chocolate. Full-bodied and compact, this has very good concentration and acidity. Rich, long but vibrant in the finish. (ZS)
