(8/2018) This powerful single-vineyard red is one of the most unique examples of Rioja you will find. The fruit comes from a tiny (.54-hectare) vineyard planted back in 1910. Today, these old bush vines are farmed naturally using biodynamic practices and yield a wine of deep concentration with hauntingly wonderful aromatics. Blending 90% Tempranillo with 10% Viura (a white varietal that contributes additional freshness and aromatics), the 2013 Phinca Lali sings of beautiful dark fruits of black cherry, black berry and dark raspberry that are layered with aromatic floral and herbal tones including violets and spearmint , deep nuances of rocky earth, and a potpourri of exotic spice notes. This full-bodied and full-flavored wine is still youthful, so make sure to decant for a couple of hours. Even better, throw a few bottles in the cellar and let it develop even further over the next decade or longer.

Marques de Murrieta "Finca Ygay" Rioja Reserva 2013
92
Wine Advocate
(2/28/2018) "The red blend 2013 Rioja Reserva is mostly Tempranillo with 9% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo and 3% Garnacha, a proportion that is very similar from year to year as they want this blend to show the typicity of the Ygay estate. They blend grapes from different vineyards, soils, expositions and altitudes in search of a traditional, fine and elegant red aged in American oak barrels with more modern characteristics like fruit, mid-palate and integration of the oak. The destemmed and lightly crushed grapes fermented separately in stainless steel vats and the wine matured in barrel for 18 months. This is a somehow unusual vintage of Murrieta Reserva from a challenging vintage, with aromas of beef blood, sweet spices and red cherries. The palate is vibrant with citrus acidity, flavors of acid berries and an elegant, long finish. Unusual, but I like it."
