Wine Enthusiast – This dark-violet-colored wine has a bouquet of black currant, dark chocolate and juniper berry. A framework of opulent tannins plays host to flavors of blackberry, dark plums, bittersweet chocolate, rose petal and eucalyptus that evaporate into an enduring chocolate-scented finish.
James Suckling – Very attractive aromas of dark berries, cedar, dust and flowers. Medium-to full-bodied with polished tannins and a delicious combination of dark berries and walnuts with hints of vanilla. Flavorful yet subtle finish. Assertive, but enjoyable. Drink now or hold.

Sierra Cantabria Reserva 2015
90 POINTS - Wine Spectator
"An elegant red that marries rich flavors of ripe black cherry and black fig with detailed accents of violet, dried sage, rose hip and iron. Features fine-grained tannins and lively balsamico tang to the expressive flavor range, with hints of ground anise and white pepper lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."
91 POINTS - Jeb Dunnuck
"Spiced red and black fruits, dried herbs, licorice, and graphite all emerge from the 2015 Reserva, a medium-bodied Reserva with nicely integrated oak, good mid-palate density, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years or so. Best After 2022."
Sierra Cantabria Crianza is one of the flagship age-classified Rioja bottling produced by the Eguren family of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. While the family is most well known for their single cru classified bottlings, they produce outstanding ageing classified wines from their estate vineyards in San Vicente. While this category is dominated by blends of purchased fruit sourced from many growers across the entire appellation, the Eguren family are one of the few (if not the only) families in Rioja that produce an estate grown and bottled Reserva from a single village - in this case, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, one of the most respected villages for Tempranillo in Spain.

Wines of Spain
With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.
The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.
In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.
Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.
Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
