TASTING NOTES:	Marqués de Murrieta didn't produce their top red in 2008, so I tasted the 2009 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial. In 2009, the final blend was Tempranillo with 19% Mazuelo (or Cariñena), one of the highest percentages of Mazuelo ever. The grapes are now sourced from the La Plana vineyard within the Ygay estate, one of the higher-altitude plots at 485 meters. The grapes fermented and aged separately, the Tempranillo in American oak barrels and the Mazuelo in French barriques for 26 months, given its power. It has that seriousness, character and somehow rusticity of the Mazuelo, austere, harmonious and still young. It has good depth and concentration, still young and lively with fine tannins and a backbone of freshness that lifts it up. It will develop for a very long time in bottle. This is a great classical Rioja for the long haul. 109,000 bottles and some larger formats were produced. It was bottled in October 2014. The prices are increasing but so is the quality. The following vintages will be 2010, 2011 and possibly 2012. I cannot wait to taste them...

About La Rioja

Rioja, one of Spain's most prestigious wine regions, holds a revered status among oenophiles worldwide. Situated in the northern part of the country, it boasts a rich winemaking tradition that dates back centuries. Nestled along the banks of the Ebro River, Rioja's vineyards cover a diverse terrain, encompassing three distinct sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. Each sub-region contributes unique terroirs and microclimates, shaping the character of the wines produced there.

Tempranillo stands as the undisputed star among Rioja's grape varieties, revered for its ability to express the region's essence with grace and complexity. Alongside Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Mazuelo (Carignan), and Graciano play significant supporting roles in the production of Rioja's renowned red wines. For whites, Viura takes center stage, accompanied by Malvasía and Garnacha Blanca, producing wines of elegance and distinction.

Rioja wines are classified based on their aging process, a hallmark of the region's winemaking tradition. From the youthful vibrancy of Rioja Joven to the refined complexity of Rioja Gran Reserva, each category offers a unique expression of Rioja's terroir and winemaking prowess. Whether enjoyed in their youthful exuberance or savored after years of careful aging, Rioja wines captivate the senses with their depth, balance, and versatility.

Rioja's continental climate, tempered by Atlantic influences, provides ideal conditions for grape cultivation, ensuring optimal ripening and flavor development. This unique climate, combined with the artistry of Rioja's winemakers, results in wines that are celebrated for their ability to complement a wide range of cuisines and occasions.
