Winemaker Notes

Gets better every year confirming its assets, for this wine always delivers. Bouquet of cherries and vanilla with gentle toasted notes. Balanced in the mouth with soft, ripe and luscious tannins that mingle with delicious, lively fruit. Pleasant fullness and good length to delight the palate.

    Ripe flavors of black cherry and plum are framed by sweet vanilla and spicy notes in this generous red. Orange peel acidity keeps this lively, with light, firm tannins imparting structure. Drink now through 2022.

    Is this a party red, a serious meal wine, or something for either occasion? The 2012 Marqués de Cáceres Crianza is one of the world's most versatile wines. This wine's up-front red fruits and soft palate textures makes it an excellent for just sipping and just as fine with light meals. (Tasted: October 11, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

Marques de Caceres, Spain
Marques de Caceres The Winery Winery Image

In 1970, Enrique Forner founded Marqués de Cáceres Unión Vitivinícola S.A., a historic alliance of growers in the village of Cenicero in the Rioja Alta subregion of Rioja. The enterprising Forner family has been devoted to the wine trade for five generations. Their search for the best vine growers and vineyards in Rioja and the introduction of a Bordeaux concept revolutionized the production and business model of the region. They work with one single objective: producing the highest quality wines. Today this obsession continues to be the leitmotif of Cristina Forner, the fifth generation of this distinguished wine family.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.

Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
