Sierra Cantabria Reserva 2015
90 POINTS - Wine Spectator
"An elegant red that marries rich flavors of ripe black cherry and black fig with detailed accents of violet, dried sage, rose hip and iron. Features fine-grained tannins and lively balsamico tang to the expressive flavor range, with hints of ground anise and white pepper lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."
91 POINTS - Jeb Dunnuck
"Spiced red and black fruits, dried herbs, licorice, and graphite all emerge from the 2015 Reserva, a medium-bodied Reserva with nicely integrated oak, good mid-palate density, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years or so. Best After 2022."
Sierra Cantabria Crianza is one of the flagship age-classified Rioja bottling produced by the Eguren family of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. While the family is most well known for their single cru classified bottlings, they produce outstanding ageing classified wines from their estate vineyards in San Vicente. While this category is dominated by blends of purchased fruit sourced from many growers across the entire appellation, the Eguren family are one of the few (if not the only) families in Rioja that produce an estate grown and bottled Reserva from a single village - in this case, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, one of the most respected villages for Tempranillo in Spain.
