TASTING NOTE: The estate red 2015 Reserva was produced with Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano from their 86 hectares of vineyards. It's from an early harvest after a warm and dry year that achieved perfect ripeness with some rain at the end of the cycle. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats and matured in barrel for 21 months. It combines youth with development, power with elegance and comes through as clean and defined, with a medium to full-bodied palate, focused flavors and a dry but lively finish. It was bottled in April and May 2018. Drink date: 2021-2028. Score - 94 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Aug. 19, 2021) Price $ 52.95
