98 PTS • Legendary Rioja • Made only in exceptional vintages!

October 07, 2024

The 2015 vintage is the first in the long history of the cuvée to be bestowed by the winery with the vaunted,"Seleccion Especial." 

With plenty of runway and now entering primetime with nearly 10 years of bottle age, the 2015 La Rioja Gran Reserva 904 "Seleccion Especial" is the best and select fruit from the winery, made only in the best vintages!

Readers can expect exotic notes of cherry, raspberry, and cigar leaf in a stunning Rioja that is the region's benchmark.

"Very Impressive complecity and width on the nose, showing lots of savoriness with the mushrooms, sandalwood, cedar, sweet spices, dried oranges and tobacco. Really even and juicy on the palate with fine and present tannins. Juicy, creamy finish lasting a minute. Really elegant and layered. It goes on and on. A real Rioja Gran Reserva and I recommend buying a case!James Suckling

What We Love About The Gran Reserva 904

 

The 2015 La Rioja 904 Gran Reserva is a wine experience.

 

Drink it.

Cellar it.

Gift it. 

It springs to life after just a few minutes in the glass and unlocks an earthy depth and charm that you just don't find in Cabernet Sauvignon.  It is “a brilliant wine.” John Gillman

 

We recommend pairing this exquisite red alongside your favorite barbecue food in addition to grilled vegetables, wild bore, smoked tenderloin, or your favorite meat topped with sauteed chanterelle mushrooms.  

 

Drink or hold... this is a great wine that “sets the standard for the region and will delight many a consumer.” Vinous

 

Enjoy!

"Very impressive complexity and width on the nose, showing lots of savoriness with mushrooms, sandalwood, cedar, sweet spices, dried oranges and tobacco. Really even and juicy on the palate with fine and very present tannins. Juicy, creamy finish lasting a minute. Really elegant and layered. It goes on and on. A real Rioja Gran Reserva and I recommend buying a case!"

“Sets the standard for the region and will delight many a consumer.”

Vinous

"This garnet red wine with a brick sheen features an evolved and complex nose. It offers notes of cola, licorice, sour cherry and dried flowers, accompanied by hints of leather and herbs. On the palate, it is dry, silky and juicy, with fine-grained tannins and a chalky texture that lead to a nimble flow and a lingering finish. This is an old-school, precise Rioja that sets the standard for the region and will delight many a consumer."
