Natalie's Review

Cerro Añon 2014, Rioja D.O.C.A., Spain: A full-bodied, mature Spanish red wine with dried fruit and herbs. At peak now. Not fruity at all any at now. Pair with a juicy steak. MINE: This full-bodied Spanish red wine from the 2009 vintage is produced by Bodegas Olarra and is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo grapes. Deep red hue in the glass. OTHER: Wineboy rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review: while the alcohol makes the wine fuller bodied, the power of flavours is lighter than expected. Black cherries and American oak on the palate. OTHER: Part of an impressive range from this large winery, the Cerro Añón Reserva marries Tempranillo with 20% Graciano and Mazuelo and spends 20 months in American and French oak. It's a fresh, well-balanced style with fine tannin management and some sweetness from the oak. Highly drinkable. Drink Date: 20182023. Score - 91 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2018). Drink: 2019-2023. 114306 14% XD 750 mL $21.95 Score: 89/100. May 12, 2019 Best Beef Wine Full Review
