Lopez De Heredia Vina Cubillo
| Vintage: | 2015 |

| Description: | James Suckling 94 Points - "Complex aromas of cherries, figs and spices with some fresh flowers follow through to a medium to full body with creamy tannin texture and a sour cherry aftertaste. Lightly chewy at the end with fine tannins. So drinkable and refreshing but it has a pretty tannin backbone.". Wine Advocate 93 Points - "The 2015 Via Cubillo Tinto Crianza reflects the warmer conditions of the year, and with the riper fruit they picked to produce this wine, they still managed to keep around 13.5% alcohol. The Cubillo vineyard has more clay, and sometimes clay soils take heat better and make the wines fresher than those from poorer soils.". Even Lopez de Heredia's Crianza is well-aged, but maintains a freshness of fruit that points to the quality in this vineyard (and winemaking). As Tim Atkin, Mw puts it: "[Vina Cubillo] tends to produce the lightest, freshest and most elegant of the Lpez de Heredia reds. Floral, refined and delicately wooded, this is sweet, delicate and almost Pinot Noir-like in terms of its flavors and tannin structure." |
