Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva

Professional Ratings

  The winery’s flagship wine, the 2021 Reserva has a highly appealing spicy balsamic character and an undertone of freshness highlighted by the addition of 3% Graciano. A solid 20 months in American oak provides structure and toasty notes to the ripe, full-bodied creaminess of the wine, rich in red and black cherry fruit that’s textured and layered throughout supple, silky tannins. This is a classic, ready to go another 10-15 years.

  A combination of licorice, blackberries and cherries on the nose, a floral element emerging as the wine evolves. The medium- to full-bodied palate is incisive with polished, focused tannins and a clean, chiseled finish. Uncomplicated. Drink or hold.

  Ripe mulberry and boysenberry fruit is accented by wild thyme, warm spices, mineral and mandarin orange peel in this well-balanced red, with light, taut tannins. Tempranillo and Graciano.
