Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Dense, deep ruby color. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe fruits of the forest and Morello cherries blend with slightly toasted vanilla notes. Fresh, fully and fleshy in hte mouth, this wine delivers superb tannins that highlight its structure and complexity. Impressive personality that sets this Gran Reserva apart from others made in the region. Body and elegance combine with deliciously fresh flavors to delight the palate.

Professional Ratings

    Cool, subtle aromas of cola, rooty black cherry and blackberry precede a flush, racy, tannic palate. Toasted, roasted blackberry flavors come with accents of coconut and peppery spice, while coconutty oak returns on the finish. Drink through 2022.

    Cáceres presents this gran reserva in a full, generous style, dense with bosky cherry flavors and dark earthiness. It has tempranillo’s floral scent of roses layered into the fruit. Soft and ready to drink, this will match filet mignon.

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.
