Montes de Leza Edición Limitada Rioja

Rioja Alavesa Crianza
2019 / 750 ml.

WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2023
Bright cherry-red to the eye, this wine offers a bouquet of cranberry, black olive paste and rose petal. Bright on entry, it has flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, cocoa butter, eucalyptus and Turkish delight. A touch of baking spice and plush tannins carry into the enduring finish. (Mike DeSimone)
JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, September 9, 2022
Spiced cherries, plums, tobacco and a meaty undertone with some black earth. A fresh and juicy Rioja with seductive berries and plums on the palate, rounded by precise, dusty tannins. Excellent length and fruit. 100% tempranillo. Delicious now, but can hold. (James Suckling)

Tobacco and tea notes frame tart cherry and fresh leafy flavors in this herbal red. Light, firm tannins and sharp acidity give this a tangy focus. Drink now through 2022. 5,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported. (Thomas Matthews)
WE8585 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2018
Roasted berry, compost and earthy aromas are jumbled and not entirely fresh. This is narrow and resiny in feel, with oaky flavors of clove, milk chocolate and resiny berry fruits. Overall, there’s not a lot to this other than oaky makeup.

JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, July 26, 2019
This is a beautiful play between fresh blackberries, violets and lavender and dried meat, vanilla and spices. Iodine, licorice and tar all in there, too. Full body, muscular yet grainy tannins and layer after layer of plush fruit, wrapped up neatly in tangy acidity. Drink in 2022.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Jun 2019
The red 2017 Horizonte de Exopto is a traditional blend of Tempranillo with 10% each Garnacha and Graciano, but now not all of grapes come from the village of Ábalos — since 2016, they have added two plots in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The destemmed and lightly crushed grapes fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured 50/50 in 600-liter demi-muids and 225-liter barriques for one year. The wine is surprisingly fresh, expressive and aromatic and has a touch of black pepper, perhaps because there are more grapes from higher-altitude vineyards that didn’t suffer the frost, and the result might be fresher than some wines from 2016 or 2015. The move to bigger barrels and less oak seems to have paid back with much better integration of the wood and additional nuance. A great effort for the vintage and a bit of a surprise — lighter and less concentrated but more drinkable. 9,000 bottles were filled in November 2018.

Montebuena Rioja

Cuvée KPF
2020 / 750 ml.

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, October 14, 2021
A soft and velvety red with berry and cherry character. Chocolate, too. Medium to full body, round tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink now. (James Suckling)
RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Jul 2022
The clean and fruit-driven 2020 Cuvée KPF from Rioja Alavesa is from Labastida and matured in French and American oak barrels for six months. It’s a special cuvée for their US importer Kysela. It has a fruit-driven profile with some spice, 13.9% alcohol and a medium-bodied palate with a juicy texture and fine tannins. 200,000 bottles produced. (Luis Gutiérrez)

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)
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2023
A medium-bodied red, packing pungent hints of smoke and stemmy herbs on the nose that are subtle on the palate, underscoring dried black cherry and cranberry fruit flavors layered with orange peel acidity and lightly chewy tannins. Drink now. 96,000 cases made, 1,800 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)

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.

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)

RP91+91+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Feb 2024
The pale, fruit-driven and very young red 2022 Bozeto de Exopto is juicy and approachable, mixing 60% Garnacha with 35% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano. Fresh and dominated by the Garnacha, it is ripe without excess at 14.5% alcohol, reflecting the conditions of the year. Only the Tempranillo aged in oak vats, and the Garnacha was kept in concrete. 70,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023. (Luis Gutiérrez)
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Apr 2024
The 2022 Bozeto de Exopto is 60% Garnacha, 35% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano sourced from the Sonsierra Area in Rioja Alavesa and Alfaro, Rioja Oriental. Aged for seven months in concrete vats, this garnet red wine offers notes of pink peppercorn, dried leaves, black tea and sour cherry. Indulgent and fairly taut due to the stem tannins, it lingers with a rich and cleansing finish. This is a unique, two-character red from Rioja. (Joaquín Hidalgo)

JS9696 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, August 2, 2018
The DNA of Remelluri is here. Wild mountain herb character, structured and firm, these tannins are succulent and deeply expressive. Powerful and assertive red plums, wild cherries and roasting herbs with the oak sitting well. Power and balance. Try from 2021.
RP94+94+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Jun 2019
A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano, the 2012 Granja Remelluri Gran Reserva represents what they are aiming for with this wine, a classical expression of the place, the quintessence of the vineyards. The select their oldest vineyards and age the wine for a long time, coming back to those early years of a modern Rioja that has now turned into a classic. It has some dusty tannins, with good grip and length. It was bottled in 24,238 bottles after an élevage of 26 months. It has been in bottle since May 2015.

Shop Spanish Wine, Rioja

A famed wine lover once referred to Rioja as "the Bordeaux of Spain," because Rioja wine is complex, traditional, and can range from quaffable, everyday values to elegant, long-lived collectors' bottles.

Wines from Spain are becoming increasingly more recognized for their high quality and excellent pricing. From Rioja, the Crianzas and un-aged reds reflect medium body and softer fruit, while Reserva and Grand Reservas (through the use of longer oak aging) are considered fine wine.

Rioja is one of the oldest wine-growing appellations in Spain, and is particularly noted for Tempranillo, though Graciano and Garnacha may also be used.
