90 Robert Parker
The just-bottled 2015 Pruno is a young, fruit-driven and straightforward blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon from young and older vines in their 63-hectare organically-farmed estate, located around the winery by the river Duero. 2015 was a very warm year and the wine is ripe without excess, juicy and tasty, with a minty and chocolate touch perhaps from the one year it spent in oak barrels. No less than 395,000 bottles and 2,015 magnums were produced in 2015, so this should be readily available, and as always represents a good value in Ribera del Duero.
90 Wine Spectator
Rich yet lively, this red delivers ripe flavors of boysenberry and black plum, backed by leafy and orange peel notes and a minerally, smoky finish. Ripe tannins are well-integrated and crisp. Fruity acidity keeps this fresh. Drink now through 2025. 5,000 cases imported.
Producer
Finca Villacreces
In the middle of Ribera del Duero’s Golden Mile, the unique landscape of vineyards, pine forests and the Duero River surround the beautiful Finca Villacreces estate. With a rather long history, today, the property is in the hands of Gonzalo and Lalo Antón, owner of two other bodegas, Izadi in Rioja and Vetus in Toro. After heavily investing in the vineyard and winery, Villacreces was relaunched in 2007. Pruno is a blend of mostly Tempranillo and smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is described as the best Spanish wine under twenty dollars, according to Robert Parker. Along with this, they produce two other wines, the flagship, Finca Villacreces and the most unique, Nebro which is made from low-yielding, old vine Tempranillo. The 64-hectare estate is also neighbors with the famous Vega Sicilia, nevertheless Villacreces creates some of the most sought-after fine, but reasonably priced Spanish wines.
