Wines from Spain are one of the great values in today's marketplace. One can find high quality, highly-rated, modern-styled Spanish wine for under $10 or a great value from a producer that has been around for more than a century for under $20.
In Spain wine regions are administered quite a bit like they are in France and are called Denominación de Origen or "D.O." for short. Rioja and Priorat are the only Spanish wine regions that have an elevated status; Denominación de Origen Calificada (D.O.C.) and Denominación d'Origen Qualificada (D.O.Q.) respectively.
Eighty percent of the wines from Spain come from a selection of about 20 grapes, although there are at least 400 grapes grown in Spain. The most important grapes are Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Albariño.
JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, July 26, 2019 Some modern, meaty oak and spice, laid across ripe dark cherries and plums here.

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, July 24, 2017 A big ripe wine with a touch of caramel alongside the big black plum note. A massively tannic but relatively plush wine that has a certain freshness. This ought to age well. Better from 2020.RP8787 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Feb 2017 There is a new red blend of Tempranillo with some 13% Cabernet Sauvignon called 2014 El Transformador, from grapes mostly from a plot that names the wine. The vines were planted in the 1970s on limestone soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts after a cold soak with dry ice, followed by ten months in second and third year French oak barrels. It showed very high ripeness and some volatility that made it a little blurry. The palate showed similar flavors and some dusty tannins. 8,000 bottles produced.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 10th Sep 2020 The certified-organic Monastrell 2019 Honoro Vera Organic fermented in open-top stainless steel vats with selected indigenous yeasts and was bottled unoaked. It’s quite similar to the regular Monastrell, all from their own vineyard with serious varietal aromas and a fruit-driven and juicy personality, serious and varietal, approachable but not banal, transcending its price point. Great value. 216,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020.VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2021 Dark ruby. Cassis, cherry and licorice scents and flavors take on a smoky nuance with air. Shows good depth and chewy texture. A peppery flourish adds spicy bite to a nicely persistent finish shaped by dusty tannins.

RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 10th Sep 2020 The fruit-driven and easy-to-drink 2019 Laya was produced with Garnacha Tintorera, or Alicante Bouschet, grapes blended with 30% Monastrell from an unusually wet year with torrential rains during the harvest. It fermented in stainless steel vats with neutral yeasts, with malolactic in barrel, where the wine matured for four months. It’s very dark, almost opaque, expressive and open. This comes from younger vines yet is structured and seamless, quite complete. It feels like a very good vintage for Garnacha Tintorera in the zone. The palate is round, somehow creamy, and the tannins are ripe and juicy. 360,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020.VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2021 Saturated ruby. Ripe, spice-accented black and blue fruits and a hint of florality on the expansive nose. In a lush, generous style, offering sweet blueberry and cherry flavors that are energized by a late peppery flourish. Lingers very nicely on the dark-fruit-driven finish, which is framed by smooth, even tannins.
JS8989 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, July 26, 2019 Some wet-wool aromas with dried plums, too. The palate has a mellow array of red berries and smooth, easy tannins. Drink now.SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2020 This red has a juicy, tender texture, with gentle tannins and citrusy acidity. Cherry, candied berry and vanilla flavors mingle with herbal and forest floor notes. Harmonious, in the traditional style. Drink now through 2026. 500,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
JD9393 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - March 22, 2021 Based on 100% Garnacha, the 2019 Evodia is a killer value that delivers incredible Garnacha flair at a crazy good price. Kirsch, blackberry, acacia flower, violet, and sandalwood notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, seamless, beautifully layered wine with fabulous tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is the finest wine at this price point in the world.RP90+90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Apr 2020 The 2019 Evodia is pure Garnacha from old head-pruned vines in the Sierra Santa Cruz in Calatayud. It fermented with around 20% full clusters in concrete and matured mostly in concrete with just 20% of the blend put in used oak barrels for three months. There is a component that matured in concrete egg that I was able to taste separately that seems to bring a touch of freshness to the final blend, something welcomed in a warm year like 2019, which seems like a fresher version of 2017, when the wines achieved quite good ripeness. The nose opens up nicely in the glass and is quite aromatic and floral, exuberant, with a heady touch of ripe fruit. It’s young and tasty, tender and pleasant to drink, with a forward personality. A real bargain. I hope there are more wines like this in Aragon, where the wealth of Garnacha vineyards would make it possible quite easily. 150,000 bottles produced. There are two batches per year. What I tasted had been bottled in February 2020, just a few days before I sampled it.
WS8989 pts. - Wine & Spirits - August 1, 2013 One of the most reliable Cavas at the price, this offers cool, crisp cider apple flavors along with leesy notes of toast, nuts and flowers. It’s gentle and clean, fuel for a dance party.SP8686 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2013 Fresh and balanced, with a creamy bead supporting apple puree, pastry cream, anise and preserved lemon notes. Drink now. 75,570 cases imported.WE8686 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2013 Standard lemon-lime aromas open this quaffable Cava. In the mouth, it’s creamy and soft but not mushy, with candied mango, papaya and vanilla flavors that finish sweet.RP8585 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st May 2011 Segura Viudas’ entry level Cava, the Non-Vintage Brut Reserva offers up a pleasant perfume of yeast notes, biscuit, and green apple. It is a straightforward, lively, slightly off-dry bubbly that is a good value for drinking over the next 12–18 months.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 Dark violet. Lively, spice-accented cherry and dark berry scents show very good clarity and a hint of smokiness. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors that slowly flesh out with air. Closes long and precise, with fine-grained tannins lending final grip.RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Apr 2020 I tasted two vintages of each wine, the youngest of the entry-level Garnacha being the 2018 Honoro Vera Garnacha, from vines around the village of Ateca. It matured in oak for two months to keep its youth and fresh fruit. The wines from 2018 are slightly lighter and fresher and have textbook varietal aromas of berries and aromatic herbs and just a very subtle spicy touch. The palate is juicy and reveals very round tannins and a velvety texture. It’s pleasant and easy to drink. A very good value. 600,000 bottles produced.SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2020 This round red shows a core of plum and currant flavors, with smoky and light earthy notes. Features light tannins and firm acidity. A touch rustic, but balanced. Drink now through 2023. 25,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.
