90 Robert Parker
The 2012 Crianza feels very fresh with a fruit-driven nose, raspberries, licorice and candied cherries with even some aromas that reminded me of carbonic maceration. The wine drinks extremely well, and is polished with unnoticeable tannins, but the profile does not really make me think of a Crianza. A whopping 700,000 bottles of this wine were produced.

This sturdy red offers black cherry, plum, vanilla and cola flavors, supported by firm tannins and balsamic acidity. A bit rustic, but stays focused through the fruity finish. Drink now through 2022. 60,000 cases made. –TM
Producer
Bodega Matarromera
Partially hidden along the north hillside of the Duero Valley, Bodegas Matarromera overlooks the picturesque gorge in Valladolid. The 80-hectare estate produces well-known Ribera del Duero wines, featuring 100% Tinta del Pais, which is the local name for Tempranillo. Felix Gonzalez now oversees the innovative facilities and winemaking processes, as compared to previous years when the creator of the Matarromera Group, Luis Carlos Moro Gonzalez, was heading the vinification. The estate actually offers more than their award-winning wines, they also make cosmetics, olive oil and spirits, organize tours, and not to mention, they own their own hotel and restaurant.
