2019 Marques de Murrieta Finca Ygay Reserva Rioja 750ML A great classic, with a unique Rioja character, bursting with chewy red fruits, counterpointed by minerality. Reconciling power and finesse, pleasure and style. Warm and intense. Benchmark for wines of style, high-end brands.
Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2019 unfolds with an olfactory palette where strawberry, cherry, and red plum take center stage, interwoven with strokes of black pepper and a spectrum of Mediterranean herbs. In the background, one can discern subtle hints of its sojourn in oak barrels. Upon tasting, it reveals its savory and vibrant character, distinguished by its elegance and silky tannins that impart structure without overshadowing its vivacity. This red wine is an exemplar of balance and measured concentration.

Consistently one of the great values in the red wine Universe, Marques de Murrieta ‘Finca Ygay’ Reserva Rioja has shined and outdone itself in the strong 2019 vintage. 96pts Suckling, under thirty, time in the bottle, its time to pull the cork.  Marques de Murrieta is named after Luciano de Murrieta, one of the founding fathers of modern Rioja winemaking, who established the estate in 1852. The winery is settled near the southern tip of the Rioja Alta in the middle of the beautiful Ygay Estate, a unique 300 hectare vineyard that guarantees complete control over the grape source of the wines and is the key to the quality and style of Marques de Murrieta. Their wine has scored 100pts by Parker. I absolutely loved this wine combining all the tradition of Rioja with the latest modern ways of making wine and managing their vineyards. The best of both worlds. Nothing is spared when it comes to quality. The wine is mainly Tempranillo, superbly round and rich, the perfect amount of oak and acidity. Time in the bottle has given the wine superb length and suppleness. I have served it on different occasions and bottles fly, great drinkability.
