Bodegas Luis Cañas
Reserva Selección de Familia Rioja Tempranillo Blend



Deep garnet red. Dark red fruits with baking spices and creamy dark cocoa on the nose. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Slightly dusty on the palate with notes of dark cocoa and a little savory in the medium plus finish. Pretty well integrated and a beautiful wine for under $20. Drink till 2022.

Bodegas Luis Cañas is a family-owned winery that dates back to 1928. Today it is one of the leading wineries of Rioja Alavesa with 222 acres of their own Tempranillo, Viura, Graciano, and Mazuelo vineyards and another 494 acres controlled by their regular grape suppliers. Ruby with aromas of ripe red fruit with cedar notes. On the palate blackberry and cherry with notes of cacao, oak and vanilla spice. Well balanced with smooth tannins. Lingering finish ending with mineral notes.

Round, rich full bodied elegance, tannins are fairly well resolved and intergraded for an 09. Dark fruits, expresso coffee grounds, saddlewood, dark chocolate, violets, soft spice, nice use off oak that reveals a cinnamon /vanilla barrel toast good acidity and a long beautiful finish that lasts.

A favorite Rioja. Fortunate to have visited the vineyard and bought this bottle there. Aged a few years and it is delicious.

Luis keeps performing. After numerous 2005s we now enjoyed 09. after an oaky opening things cooled down and showed crunchy red fruits, charred wood, small Cocoa hint and good freshness. This is ready now and will last for a decade (?)

HWT nice smooth flavor and a bit more berry than I remember rioja’s having but $35 is more than I’d want to pay.
