Gómez de Segura Rioja Reserva 2021

Rioja/Tempranillo lovers! Today’s your day! In a nutshell: a blisteringly killer Last Bottle exclusive unless you live in San Sebastian or Madrid or something, 95 POINTS, exceptional ‘21 vintage, neck-hair-raising price, lush, complex and deep! WILL sell out in a blink!

Put on Led Zep’s “Kashmir” right now, because this is one wicked-smoldering 95-point Rioja buy — a booming, John Bonham’s pounding bass drum, accelerator-pedal-mashing, reverberating masterpiece of a wine AND a staggering buy (60% OFF, people!). Truly, we outdid ourselves (well until this weekend, *hint, hint*). This is just...liquid earth, lustrous yet refined, powerful and multi-layered and, oh Batman, the PRICE!

Got some? Rock on. OK: any of you who got the RARE ‘09 from a while back already know — Gómez de Segura is a rockstar-level producer ONLY found here at LB — this producer barely gets out of Spain, much less to our shores. We were all in on the ‘21, even before the 95-point review (“...lavish aromatics and concentration of flavors…refined even while powerful finish…”) came out, and it will KNOCK you out! Pinky swear! It will!

Did you know? All Rioja Reserva must spend a minimum of 3 years in oak and 6 months in bottle before release. That's a tremendous thing for us! Gómez de Segura Rioja is a 3rd generation winery founded in 1948, and we met them by chance in Europe, quickly bonded over some aged ham (lordy, we cannot get enough of that…) and the rest is history. Located in the heart of Rioja near the El Campillar area, in the municipality of Laguardia, this is 100% Tempranillo from stunning old vines, and packed away for nearly 4 years before release. You’ll be one of the few in the U.S.A. to own any (if you’re fast)! 

YES, yes, what’s it LIKE, you madman? Friends, neighbors, Jon Hamm, anyone reading: it SOARS. Dark, brooding, concentrated, powerful (like Bonham’s drumming), it’s incredibly ROUND and warm-spiced, mouth-coating yet medium-bodied, silky structured (Tempranillo can be chewy, this ain’t), with sweet herbs, sweet coffee roast, and a long, lovely, immensely satisfying finish. Very “modern” in style, we’d say, nothing clunky or rustic, just incredibly well-made juice that is frankly amazing to have here at all, especially at 60% OFF. Did we mention that? Go go GO!
