#40 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2019
Marqués de Murrieta is one of Rioja's oldest and most storied bodegas — founded in 1852 and still making wine from their historic Ygay estate in Rioja Alta. The 2020 Reserva, their classic offering, blends Tempranillo with Garnacha and Mazuelo for a wine of real Rioja character: cherry, cedar, vanilla, leather, and a firm, elegant structure. Classic, without apology.
