This is old-school Rioja done right by a family producer who doesn't cut corners. The wine comes from 40-year-old vines, mostly Tempranillo with a little Graciano and Garnacha thrown in, and they age it the traditional way—two years in American oak barrels plus another year in bottle before release. You'll find classic cedar and tobacco notes weaving through earthy, savory flavors, backed by red fruit and that bright acidity Rioja is famous for. The extended aging gives it a silky texture and complexity that's ready to enjoy now but will continue to develop beautifully over the next few years. Perfect alongside roasted lamb, aged Manchego, or anything with mushrooms—this is the kind of wine that makes dinner taste better 

The textbook traditional red 2019 Señorío de P. Peciña Crianza was produced with their classical blend of Tempranillo with small percentages of Garnacha and Graciano. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in used American oak barrels following the most orthodox tradition, for two years, a lot longer than required to obtain the category. It has spicy notes, a hint of cigar box and forest floor and is a powerful and ripe year, when the wine achieved 14.36% alcohol and good freshness and acidity. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with a chalky mouthfeel, fine tannins and a slightly dusty and rustic touch that would welcome food. It was bottled in May 2022. - Luis Gutierrez
