Winemaker Notes
The wine is deep dark purple in color, with subtle, complex blackberry and raspberry aromas and notes of smoke, herbs and minerals. The tannins are firm and slightly austere yet ripe, balancing expansive fruit concentration on the palate and ending in a long, refined finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There is virtually unanimous agreement that 2001 was a great vintage in Rioja. The 2001 Roda I Reserva has a more saturated color than any of its predecessors. It exhibits an alluring perfume of smoke, incense, spice box, mineral, black cherry, and blackberry. Round, ripe, and perfectly balanced, it has layers of savory fruit, considerable aging potential, and a stylish personality. It can be enjoyed now but its prime drinking window will extend from 2015 to 2031.

Wine & Spirits
A modern Rioja offering deep color, rich textures and delicious black fruit, Roda I focuses on glamour and does it well. It will please a crowd of carnivores at a steakhouse, or a bevy of vegans snacking on grilled wild mushrooms. The tannins are impossibly smooth, and rich as dark roast coffee, adding to the luscious complexity this should develop with age.

A self-financed, objective and detailed vineyard analysis the top 100 sites within Rioja Alta's lowest-yielding, climatically-challenged sub-regions. Vineyard acquisition and grape contract followed strictly upon this model. The bodega facility was then established at the epicenter of the chosen vineyard areas, in Haro's Barrio de la Estacion in plain view of the Conchas rock formation - where the Ebro River dramatically forces its way through the sierra and into this vinous paradise.
