Rich Red Wines

This is a blockbuster effort and one of the most incredible examples of a wine that seems to have it all for a price point far less than what you would expect. Other wines of this caliber could easily cost you $40-$50+, but not this one!

2010 Vintage Scores:

Founded in 1973 on the outskirts of Logroño, Olarra is known locally as the ‘Cathedral of Rioja’ owing to the beauty and grandeur of its distinctive Y-shaped winery. Here, cutting-edge technologies merge with Rioja’s traditional winemaking methods, while the winery’s ageing hall houses an impressive 26,000 oak barrels. With several brands on the market, Cerro Añón is Olarra’s flagship label and the wines are classic in style. This gran reserva is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo and 5% Garnacha, aged for two years in new oak. Sarah Jane Evans MW: A youthful blend, still showing energy after all these years: refreshing and well balanced, with a fine rasp of tannin. Simon Field MW: Seductive and wonderfully approachable for a beast that has been cloaked in wood for so long; very long and memorable. Pierre Mansour: Youthful, vibrant and gorgeously rich, yet with such well-judged tannins. Will benefit from more time in bottle.

Staff Review: Oak! Oak! Oak! Rich full-bodied red with notes of vanilla, cherries, and... oak! Great with stews, BBQ, bonfires, and friends. Over-delivers for the price!
