Marque De Murrieta Rioja Gran Reserva 2016

The Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Gran Reserva 2016 is a highly-rated, traditional Spanish red wine celebrated for its complexity and aging potential. It is primarily a blend of 82% Tempranillo, with smaller amounts of Graciano and Mazuelo, aged for 26 months in American oak followed by three years in the bottle before release.

96 Points- James Suckling

Aromas of black berries, black olives, black truffles, autumn leaves and earth. Grilled orange peel. Very complex. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a complex and complete finish. Nicely persistent and focused. 26 months in American oak. Drink or hold.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A sleek, medium-bodied red, with a subtle sanguine thread winding through flavors of crushed mulberry, plum skin, cured tobacco and hints of dried thyme, lavender and red licorice. Fresh and focused, this is firmed by fine-grained, integrated tannins. Long, creamy finish. Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha Tinta. Drink now through 2034.
