B21 has an Incredible selection of wine, especially my favorite Pinot Noirs! However, what sets this wine shop apart from others? They have exemplary and attentive customer service. They answer emails promptly, offer shipping deals, and they will hold a wine shipment for inclement weather circumstances. What more could you want? AWESOME store!

2021 Telmo Rodriguez Matallana (750ml)

Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Castilla y Leon, Spain

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Legendary among Spanish wine lovers for his highly acclaimed, site-specific Riojas, pioneering winemaker Telmo Rodriguez established his ambitious Matallana project in Ribera del Duero in 1998, seeking to craft a “very good Vega Sicilia” that expressed the unique diversity of the region by blending the local clone of Tempranillo, known as Tinto Fino, with lesser-known, indigenous Ribera varietals.

“This is a superb, classical Ribera del Duero with ripeness, concentration, balance and elegance...” - Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate

Working with his partner Pablo Eguzkiza, Telmo began to track down the region’s oldest vineyards that had often been abandoned and required restoration, purchasing tiny, high-quality plots from 40 different families to assemble 21.5 hectares of mainly unirrigated, old bush vines and adding a field blend of massal-selected grapes. Working with farmers across five different villages to manage the parcels organically, Telmo sourced the grapes for the 2021 Matallana from eleven vineyards with a mix of soils ranging from quartz-rich or pebbly soils reminiscent of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the south to chalky albariza limestone and clay-heavy sites in the north, each one producing a different expression of Tinto Fino. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats, the pure and vibrant WA97 Matallana demonstrates the freshness from a cooler year, described by Decanter as “a real balancing act of complexity and flavor layering with underlying power and promise of great things to come.”

Ranking among the region’s highest-scoring reds at a mere fraction of its heavy-hitter counterparts, the "savory, subtle, joyful" 2021 Matallana reflects Telmo’s enduring commitment to produce a terrific, cellar worthy value that speaks to Ribera’s prized terroirs and singular character. As Inside Bordeaux's Jane Anson sums it up in her own 97-point review, "I love seeing what Telmo Rodriguez can do in Ribero del Duero, and so will you."

The Ribera del Duero red 2021 Matallana comes from a challenging year but with very good potential for quality and quantity. It has grapes from different vineyards in five different villages on different soils, where they made a big selection to keep the very best grapes; they got 80,000 kilograms of grapes and ended up producing some 22,000 bottles. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats. It matured in French oak barrels of different sizes for 14 months. This is a superb classical Ribera del Duero with ripeness, concentration, balance and elegance and the freshness from a cooler year marked by the big snowstorm in January and a milder summer. It has 14.4% alcohol with a pH of 3.72 and 4.6 grams of acidity. It's very spicy and peppery, showy and extroverted, very spicy with some exotic notes of nutmeg, ripe wild berries, violets and herbs. It's medium to full-bodied with very chalky tannins and is tasty, almost salty. 22,450 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

97 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Jun 2024)

Plum ruby red, nuanced and subtle with an emphasis on fragrance and lift, violet, peony, rose, finessed tannins, poise and intensity, raspberry and redcurrant fruit. Savoury, subtle, joyful. I love seeing what Telmo Rodriguez can do in Ribero del Duero, and so will you. He's been producing this wine since 1998, with the grapes from the northern area of Sotillo de la Ribera down to Pardilla in the south, 11 vineyards covering 21.5ha across five different villages. Native yeast fermentation.
