I love using B‑21 for wine shipments. They have a huge selection and the prices are much better than the grocery store prices. Their shipping is fairly fast. Depending on where you live, the shipping is very reasonable. I live in Florida, where they are based, so the shipping is only $12 for a case of wine.

The fact that B‑21 uses UPS for shipping is a major improvement over other online sellers, mainly because FedEx is a disaster around here!

The delivery was a day late; more the fault of the shipping company, I’m sure. Being on schedule is important for alcohol, because it can only be delivered to the person named on the order, and has to be signed for. How about having to reschedule your work day because of a late delivery. Apart from that, I’m very happy with this retailer ‑ they have what I need, and very reasonably priced.

2011 Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial (750ml)

Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

"Marqués de Murrieta is one of the most classical names in Rioja, and they have managed to keep the classical style of the wines but are also completely relevant and up to date with what is happening in the world today. "

- Luis Gutiérrez,Wine Advocate

Declared “one of Rioja's most iconic labels” by Decanter’s Clive Pursehouse, Marques de Murrieta is a bastion of classically styled Rioja. These top-scoring flagship Reserva, the signature Gran Reserva, and the highly coveted Castillo Ygay are all emblematic of the estate's reputation for benchmark Rioja expressions with top-tier cellar potential.

A standard bearer for value every vintage, the 96-point 2019 Rioja Reserva was aged for 24 months in American oak and spent an additional 14 months in bottle before release, yielding “a harmonious blend” according to Vinous, revealing fresh spiced fruit and balsamic with refined, integrated tannins that allow it to be enjoyed tonight or cellared for several years. Ranked #10 on James Suckling’s 2021 Top 100 Wines of Spain, the 98-point 2015 Marques de Murrieta Finca Ygay Gran Reserva is a limited edition sourced from select barrels and only produced in exceptional vintages. A bright and layered Rioja that's "spicy, tasty, chalky and still young with potential to age" according to Wine Advocate’s Luis Gutiérrez, the 2015 is already drinking beautifully and will continue to evolve over the next decade-plus.

Finally, two vintages of the otherworldly Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial offer collectors an unparalleled opportunity to get their hands on one of the most iconic wines in Spain. Produced in only the most exceptional vintages, these latest releases of Castillo Ygay come from the La Plana parcel planted in 1950 at the estate's highest altitude.

"Fantastic structure ... with a mouthfeel of compacted velvet" defines the 98-point 2011 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial, landing it on multiple top-of-vintage lists including #3 on Decanter's “Top 20 Rioja Gran Reserva Wines” and #11 on the Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2022.

The coup de grace, however, is the always elusive 2012 Castillo Ygay. James Suckling's 100-point review commends the 2012 as “full-bodied with very elegant and refined tannins that melt in the mouth," earning it the #1 spot on his 2021 Top 100 Wines of Spain in 2023, as well as the #10 slot on his Top Wines of 2023. No matter whether you're looking for classic Rioja brilliance for tonight's table or for world-class trophies that will take your collection to new heights, these stalwart releases from Marques de Murrieta will check all the boxes.

The 2011 Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial was produced with a blend of 84% Tempranillo and 16% Mazuelo (Cariñena) from a plot called La Plana that was planted in 1950 at 485 meters in altitude, the highest in the Ygay property. The grapes were picked between September 17 and 22, and the Mazuelo was later, on September 28. The bunches were destemmed and lightly crushed and put to ferment in stainless steel for 11 days with constant pump-overs and punch-downs. The Tempranillo matured for 28 months in American oak barrels and the Mazuelo for 28 months in French barriques. It's 14% alcohol and has a pH of 3.65 with 5.6 grams of acidity (measured in tartaric acid per liter). It's very tough to follow a vintage like 2010, and 2011 was not an easy year; the wine is possibly more powerful and concentrated but keeping the freshness, with a longer élevage but very young and lively, with an elegant texture and mouthfeel, great balance and elegance. The wine feels lively, and it seems impossible that it has been in bottle for over six years. It has the classical profile with the effect of the American oak barrels, cigar box, cedar wood, sweet spices—aromatic, intoxicating, complex. This should age very slowly and for a very long time. 131,668 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2016. No 2013, 2014 or 2015 will be produced. They have a 2012, and they will jump from that to 2016. The 2012 will be released in late 2023 or early 2024 and the 2016 in 2027 or 2028. Finger crossed...

97 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Jul 2022)

Deep violet-red to the eye, this wine has a nose of raspberry, white chocolate and juniper berry. Still youthful on the palate, it offers ever-present tannins supporting flavors of dark plum, black cherry, caramel and violet that slowly fade into a soft cherry-pie finish. Drink through 2042.

97 points, Mike Desimone, Wine Enthusiast (Apr 2022)

Deep garnet. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes red and blue fruits, incense, pipe tobacco, vanilla and mocha, along with smoky mineral and spice nuances that build in the glass. Sappy, palate-staining black raspberry, cherry compote, succulent herb, candied rose and vanilla flavors show excellent depth and clarity, while a spine of juicy acidity contributes cut and structure. Shows excellent energy and detail, finishing with strong persistence, repeating florality and velvety tannins that come in late.
