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.

Wine Spectator
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)

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.
