Tasting Notes

"Opaque garnet. Vibrant, finely detailed cherry liqueur, dark berry, exotic spice and floral qualities on the expressive nose, along with hints of mocha and incense. Stains the palate with sweet, penetrating red and dark fruit, violet pastille, chewing tobacco and spicecake flavors that pick up a vanilla flourish on the back half. Smoothly blends power and finesse and finishes on a youthfully tannic note, showing outstanding clarity and mineral-tinged persistence." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous

Producer spotlight

Tempos Vega Sicilia

Grapes were first grown in the area we know today as Ribera del Duero since Roman times. One of the Roman’s requirements for settlement in any area was access to clean water and the means to transport goods. These requirements were delivered by the Duero valley and the river running through it. In 1864, Eloy Lecanda founded the winery that is today Spain’s most famous wine. The estate suffered a period of turbulence in the years following it’s founding with real stability being achieved only when the Álvarez family considered adding winemaking to their already extensive portfolio of diversified businesses. The Vega Sicilia we know today began in 1982, when billionaire industrialist David Álvarez acquired the winery and the vineyards.
