Wines from Spain are one of the great values in today's marketplace. One can find high quality, highly-rated, modern-styled Spanish wine for under $10 or a great value from a producer that has been around for more than a century for under $20.
In Spain wine regions are administered quite a bit like they are in France and are called Denominación de Origen or "D.O." for short. Rioja and Priorat are the only Spanish wine regions that have an elevated status; Denominación de Origen Calificada (D.O.C.) and Denominación d'Origen Qualificada (D.O.Q.) respectively.
Eighty percent of the wines from Spain come from a selection of about 20 grapes, although there are at least 400 grapes grown in Spain. The most important grapes are Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Albariño.
RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Jun 2005 The dry, medium amber-hued non-vintage Dry Amontillado Los Arcos offers good body as well as a heady personality.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Aug 31, 2016 Walnut, halva, singed almond and green tea notes give this an intriguing profile, flirting with an off-dry character. Stays dry through the bitter orange-edged finish. Drink now. 4,500 cases made.WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - October 1, 2017 This wine’s caramel flavors become more saline as the wine opens in the glass. It’s soft in texture and voluptuous in aromas, a seductive blend of sweet, concentrated liqueur-like fruit and salt.
JD9191 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - March 22, 2021 Blueberries, violets, crushed rocks, peppery spice, and floral notes all emerge from the 2018 Montsant Mas Donis Old Vines, which tastes like a baby Priorat. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it offers an elegant, seamless texture, light tannins, and a great finish. (Jeb Dunnuck)
JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, October 14, 2021 Enticing aromas of blackberries, leather and cedar with some dried flowers follow through to a medium to full body with firm tannins and a fresh, citrusy finish. Very traditional and real. Drink now.RP92+92+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022 2013 was a very tough vintage when they had to discard up to 100,000 kilograms of grapes and production of most of the wines was lower; it’s also the year when their father died, and they were very encouraged to make very good wines. The 2013 Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza is the entry-level red from that year, the cooler of the shortlist of 2013, 2014 and 2015 I tasted next to each other. The wine is more austere even within the style they say is their wine for the by-the-glass market. It’s classical and developed with a polished palate after three years in barrel. It overdelivers for the conditions of the year. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019. (Luis Gutiérrez)
JS9797 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, November 22, 2021 Sweet berries, cherries, cedar and dried flowers on the nose. Some lemon and lime zest, too! Medium-to full-bodied with tight, integrated tannins that show wonderful length and reserve. So fresh and vivid. Lots of energy. A wonderful, classic wine. Drink or hold.RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020 As with many wines this time, I had two vintages to taste of the Reserva from the Tondonia vineyard, 2009 and 2008, two very different, almost opposite vintages. The 2009 Viña Tondonia Reserva, a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Mazuelo and Graciano, matured in used American oak barrels for six years. It has some toasted character, with ripe fruit, black rather than red, denoting a warm year but more restrained than the Bosconia Reserva from the same vintage. 2009 is a year of ripeness, concentration and tannin; the wines are powerful, but here you see the finesse of Tondonia in comparison to the more rustic Viña Bosconia. 220,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2017.WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/21 From the López de Heredia family’s prime vineyard on a meander of the Ebro just outside of Haro, Tondonia is a blend of tempranillo with 20 percent garnacha along with small amounts of graciano and mazuelo. It’s a little volatile when first released from its long rest in bottle, then it turns silken and mouthwatering with air, a bright, lively and refreshing take on traditional Rioja. Brisk cherry and delicate orange zest notes make this an easy pleasure, fully mature with ample tannins to carry it further, equally at home with a plate of hake cheeks or a rabbit stew.
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, September 9, 2022 Fresh plums with vanilla, walnut and a hint of tobacco on the nose. A medium-bodied red with a juicy, fluid mid-palate, coated by supple, soft tannins and a creamy finish. Good length here. Drink now. (James Suckling)WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023 Aromas of blackberry, dried mountainside herbs and black olives set the stage for flavors of black currant, Luxardo cherry, anisette, thyme and black truffle. Sleek tannins ply their way across the palate and drift off into a cool, spicy finish. (Mike Desimone)
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Feb 2022 There is a big jump in quality in the 2019 O Esteiro when compared with the 2018 that I tasted next to it. There is an extra layer of texture and depth here. 2019 was a fantastic vintage for reds at this address. It’s always more or less the same blend of Mencía, Caíño and Espadeiro defined by the vineyards they use. It’s produced in a simple way and is a very good reflection of the varieties, the granite soils and the character of the vintage; this vintage is warmer, riper and more complete, with more black peppercorn. It has 11% alcohol. 2,000 bottles produced. (Luis Gutiérrez)
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2002 A touch of sweetness introduces this medium-bodied, balanced oloroso, whose molasses, caramel, and roasted nut flavors end with a mouthwatering tang. Try with nuts or a mild cheese like Manchego. Drink now.WE8585 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/1997 Deep amber with subtle copper cast. Moderately full-bodied. Mild sweetness. Marzipan, toffee, walnuts. Attractively flavored and relatively full in the mouth with well balanced acidity. Maintains an enticingly roasted character throughout with the faintest suggest of sweetness in the finish.
WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - Tawny brown color. Medium to full-bodied, but not weighty. Sweet, but not cloying. Pretty browned butter and golden raisin flavors. Complex, long finish.
JD9696 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/22/2021 A blend of 64% Grenache, 27% Carignan and 9% Syrah, the 2019 Black Slate Gratallops Vi De Vila comes from one of the warmer regions in the Priorat. Gorgeous black raspberries, liquid violets, garrigue, chalky minerality, and hints of rose petal all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured, with ultra-fine tannins and a gorgeous finish. With a liquid rock-like minerality that’s something to behold, this gorgeous, elegant wine is going to evolve for 10–12 years with no issues. (Jeb Dunnuck)
