Sierra Cantabria Rioja Reserva Unica 2016

Sale $31.99

94 pts Jeb Dunnuck / 94 pts James Suckling / 93 points Vinous

The Unica is the Eguren family’s introduction to their single-vineyard range. Yet there is nothing “entry-level” about this wine! The grapes are sorted twice, both before and after destemming, to ensure the highest quality of fruit. For the tariff, this is an incredible buy!

“Vibrant, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of fresh red and dark fruits and spicecake are complemented by a suave floral topnote. Juicy and pliant in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, cherry cola, spicecake and rose pastille flavors that deepen through the back half. In a lively style, showing fine clarity and rounded tannins framing a very long, focused finish.” Vinous

“The oak is shining through here, giving the red a lifted and aromatic quality. Pretty ripe fruit at the same time. It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and lots going on in the finish, with chocolate and vanilla-bean undertones. 97% tempranillo and 3% graciano. “ JS
