Dear Insider,Every cellar should have some beautifully aged Rioja Gran Reserva, and I will tell you this without hesitation: My go-to bottle this year is going to be the 2015 Cerro Anon Rioja Gran Reserva.I tasted this wine in the cellars of Bodegas Olarra just a month ago, and I knew on the spot I had to secure an allocation for our members. This gorgeous Gran Reserva, boasting nearly a decade of age, carries a 95-point score from the Decanter World Wine Awardswhere it outscored 1,147 other Spanish reds. Grown in a warm, ripe vintage, its now drinking in perfect form, offering the beautiful integration and depth I expect to find in $50-$80 bottles. Its just $25, down to $22 per bottle on cases. This price is literally insane to me!When you taste this wine, you simply wont believe what you paid. There is a lifted freshness that belies the mandated oak-aging of the category, with black raspberries, black currants, red plum, wild blueberry and violets. Wild herbs such as rosemary, a touch of lavender, licorice, juniper and spiced tobacco fill the periphery. On the palate, its effortlessly smooth with no hard edges, showing a gorgeous integration of its components all the way through to the finish.Lock in your share now.Bodegas Olarra reserves The Cerro Anon label for wines with a modern touch and polished stylerather than Riojas classic (and occasionally dried-out) profile. Its an estate known as the Cathedral of Rioja for its central place in the Spanish wine canon and for the grandeur of its buildings. That spot in the canon is thanks to Ezequiel Garcia.Ezequiel GarciaAKA El Brujo, The Wizardmade some of CVNEs unforgettable Imperial and Via Real Gran Reserva Riojas of the 1960s and early 1970s. Poached away from CVNE to become the founding winemaker of Bodegas Olarra, he was so obsessed with quality, he continued working in the cellar until his passing in 2017. Hes still spoken of as an absolute legend in Rioja.This bottling represents one of the last Grand Reservas El Brujo touched in his 70-year career. Of the five days I spent in Rioja this last April, I am the most proud of the quality for value in this bottle than any other that comes to mind. Im not letting this one get past me. You shouldnt either.
