"This is clean, juicy, modern and with a velvety and luxurious texture..." - Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate
The Eguren brothers are true Rioja dynamos under their Sierra Cantabria label, but they're perhaps best known for their remarkable ascent into Spain's elite with Bodegas Numanthia in the Toro region. Having sold off that powerhouse, cult-favorite estate, they're now focusing their energies in Toro on Teso La Monja, a bastion of standout value and quality among clued-in Spanish wine fans.
Selected from the estate's younger vines and fermented traditionally with indigenous yeasts, the entry-level 2020 Romanico shows their penchant for restraint and poise in a region that's built its reputation more on ripeness and full-throttle opulence, "a tasteful and balanced Toro red" as described by Joaquin Hidalgo of Vinous. With 93 points from Vinous and 92 points from Wine Advocate, the Romanico is a value star supreme with cult-caliber pedigree behind it and a can't-miss sub-$20 price that makes it a perfect candidate for your next go-to house red. |
