Rioja Gran Reserva 2011
Spain
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
“This maturing red retains freshness, with a plump texture and lively flavors. Currant, cocoa, licorice and loamy earth notes are supported by gentle tannins and orange peel acidity. Gentle, yet deep and focused. Not showy, but complete.” - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Oct 2020)
“Vivid ruby-red. Smoke-accented red fruits and candied flowers on the nose, with vanilla and licorice nuances in the background. Smooth and seamless in texture, offering raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of mocha. A tobacco note appears on the finish, which features supple tannins and lingering spiciness.” - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Dec 2020)
