Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby-red in color with purple reflections, this wine is graced by notes of ripe blackberry fruit, licorice, fresh ground pepper and a hint of toasted oak. On the palate it exhibits flavors of spicy black cherry, fennel, verbena, oregano, and winter savory. Structured tannins, excellent depth and concentration.

This wine is a perfect match for beef stews, shepherds pie, or slow roasted lamb shank.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    This muscular red balances concentration with freshness. Bright cherry and red plum flavors mingle with espresso, loamy earth and black olive notes. Chewy tannins give way to lively acidity and a floral, spicy finish. Drink now through 2023.
  • 90
    Baked black plum and cassis aromas are dark and rich on the nose. The palate is bold in baked blackberry and plum flavors, with a chocolate and toast note that lingers through the finish. Drink through 2025.

Marques de Grinon, Spain
Marques de Grinon Winery Image

Marqués de Griñón wines are sourced from the prized Dominio de Valdepusa vineyard in Castilla-La Mancha. Valdepusa stands apart from the rest of the region, as its 1068-foot elevation is one of the highest in Spain, and its top layer of soil is similar to Burgundy’s — it is almost pure limestone. Dominio de Valdepusa is located in Castilla-La Mancha, some 31 miles from Toledo, near the Pusa River. It covers 50 hectares, 20 of which are planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah. The balance is pristine land populated by local varieties of oak, wild olive trees, brush, thyme and rosemary, which contribute to the overall complexity and personality of the single estate. The family believes in the importance of the terroir and does its utmost to transmit the land’s characteristics to their grapes, including the soil’s physical, mineral and biological characteristics. A reputable winemaker in his own right, Falcó has invited top experts from around the world to help continually improve Marqués de Griñón's processes. Legendary Bordeaux oenologists Michel Rolland and Émile Peynaud; soil expert Claude Bourguignon; and Australian viticulturalist Dr. Richard Smart have consulted at Marques de Griñon since 1990, helping to implement the technologies and methods that make the winery one of the most advanced in the world. These include a partial root-drying system, sub-surface drip irrigation, high-canopy trellising, gravity-fed tanks, hand de-stemming and an abandonment of fining and filtration, all of which give the wines their famously powerful and concentrated style.

Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
