Christopher Deas, Italian Wine Merchants: ““Another worthy and complementary follow-up to the towering 2004, 2005, and 2006 expressions. Once again if you are a traditional Rioja purist you will appreciate this overachieving Reserva that arrives with 12 years of age. The wine captures all the rustic nuances of Old World Rioja, but there is more generous fruit from the warm 2009 vintage that provides an extra layer od texture to this medium bodied frame. All the telltale and intoxicating aromatics that define this wine are once again here; red and black fruits, black tea, allspice, and black licorice. On the palate the flavor spectrum is well represented with dried black cherry, blackberries, plum, tomato leaf, blood orange, tea, iron, leather, cedar, sandalwood, dried herbs and savory notes that will transport you to Rioja. We recommend letting this wine breathe and enjoying over the course of a few hours and watching how it evolves. There is less dill nuances here than some of its Haro neighbors might exhibit and it is just another classic expression from the historic Bodega. With its higher altitude, and greater concentration of Tempranillo it is often the Vina Bosconia that will outsell the Vina Tondonia at IWM. In 2009, the wine is a blend of Tempranillo (80%) and Garnacho (15%) with Mazuelo and Graciano making up the remainder. Another great Riserva that is aged longer than most Gran Reservas under $40 from the icon of traditional Rioja.” more info

Christopher Deas, Italian Wine Merchants: “If you are a traditional Rioja purist, you will once again appreciate this overachieving Reserva that arrives with twelve years of age. This is an expression that can please the Burghead and Nebbiolo enthusiast alike. The wine captures all the rustic nuances of Old World Rioja, but there is more precision from the cooler vintage, which adds depth and striking acidity to a medium-bodied frame. All the telltale and intoxicating aromatics that define this wine are here: black tea, allspice, and red and black fruits. On the palate, the flavor spectrum is well represented with red and black fruits, succulent black cherry, blackberries, tart strawberries, tomato leaf, blood orange, black tea, iron, spice, leather, sandalwood, and savory notes that will transport you to Rioja. The wine beings with musty truffle nuances and gains in depth and density as it breathes. We recommend letting this wine breathe and enjoying over the course of a few hours while watching how it evolves. There is less dill nuance here than some of its Haro neighbors might exhibit, and it is another classic expression from the historic bodega. Striking once again and a nice departure from the riper 2009s!” more info

In Stock, Limited Quantity
Price: $79.99

2009 saw a ripe Rioja vintage, and La Rioja Alta’s ’09 Rioja Gran Reserva ‘904’ is an explosive, seductive and silky bottling. This wine bursts with brambly blue and juicy red fruits that are framed by classic Rioja notes of coconut, warm cocoa, baking spices, dill, aniseed, new leather, and earth. Powerful yet detailed, this wine uncoils on the palate with a velvety muscularity to reveal its savory underpinnings and chewy fine-grained tannins. While you can enjoy this outstanding Rioja Gran Reserva ‘904’ upon release, a few years in the cellar will show the wine’s true beauty. Tempranillo from the villages of Briñas, Labastida and Villalba is blended with 10% Graciano from Briones and Rodezno in La Rioja Alta’s towering Rioja Gran Reserva ‘904’; after destemming, the grapes ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel, macerating for an incredible 78 days; the wine ages in American oak for four years before bottling, where it rests for about six years before release. more info
