LUIS CAÑAS SELECCIÓN DE LA FAMILIA RESERVA 2019 DOCa Rioja

VALPARAÍSO ROBLE 2023 DO Ribera del Duero, vegan

The 2023 Roble Valparaíso is 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero and was aged for six months in oak. Bright garnet with purple tones, it opens with sour cherry, rose petals and a ripe floral nuance. Indulgent, broad and structured with grippy tannins, it balances sweetness and power. A savory, well- crafted red in its price tier. Drinking window: 2025- 2035. Score: 91 (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, June 24, 2025) Full-bodied & Firm 44665 (XD) 750 ml $17.95 2 Featured in A Red Worth Knowing As I’ve often heard and seen in this vintage, the result of the 2022 Pruno has been much better than expected after a torrid summer and an early harvest. The wine keeps its balance and poise, its fruit-driven personality and the approachability from previous years. It has contained ripeness, 14.05% alcohol, clean aromas and a juicy and velvety texture. Highly drinkable. It’s a blend of 94% Tinto Fino [Tempranillo], 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot. It was bottled in November 2023. Drink date: 2024-2028. Score: 92 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, June 13, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 312140 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 Featured in A Red Worth Knowing 4 Organic product VILLACRECES PRUNO 2022 DO Ribera del Duero, vegan

Including 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Tempranillo- dominated 2019 Rioja Reserva Selección de la Familia is a crème de la crème selection that was aged 20 months in oak. Its deep purple hue is followed by a sensational nose of ripe black and blue fruits, cedarwood, graphite, smoked tobacco, and chocolate. This carries to a full-bodied Rioja with a powerful, layered mouthfeel, ripe yet building tannins, and serious length on the finish. Score: 95 (jebdunnuck.com, July 3, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 44789 (XD) 750 ml $43.95 2 Featured in ’Tis Your Season MARTIN BERDUGO SINGLE VINEYARD ESTATE CRIANZA 2021 DO Ribera del Duero Deep ruby in the glass, this wine has a bouquet of cherry preserves, milk chocolate and dried marjoram. Mint and eucalyptus notes dominate the taste profile alongside notes of black cherry, mocha, tarragon and lavender. Brawny tannins are kept in check by energetic acidity. Best Buy.
