About the SessionRioja anchors the Spanish session with a depth and breadth that rewards both traditionalists and modern-style enthusiasts. La Rioja Alta is the most extensively represented producer, with Gran Reserva 904 spanning multiple vintages and formats, alongside the classic Reservas - Viña Ardanza, Viña Alberdi, and Viña Arana. Beyond Rioja, Sierra Cantabria delivers some of the most sought-after names in the sale. Their single-vineyard Amancio across 2002 and 2007, the Finca El Bosque, and the Colección Privada 2003 represent the very top of the Rioja hierarchy.

Critics Ratings
“Although I was sure they had aging potential, I did not realize just how much longevity these wines possess. They are generally full-bodied, powerful, concentrated, rich wines made from very old vines and tiny yields. The sexiest, most up-front and ready-to-drink vintages include 2006 and 2003.” - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 97/100 (Nov 2013)
“This plush, dense red shows coffee and spicy oak, with berry and wild plum fruit and accents of licorice and black pepper. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, and this finishes warm and spicy. Modern and alluring.” " - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2008)
