Rioja San Vicente de la Sonsierra Jose Gil 2024 (750ML)

95 Points, Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The village red 2024 Viñedos en San Vicente de la Sonsierra was produced with Tempranillo, Garnacha (that they didn't have in 2023 because of the hail) and Viura grapes from younger and older vines in the village, from different altitudes and expositions. They added some old vineyards in 2024, and that gives the wine even more Garnacha character. It fermented with 25% full clusters in concrete and stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and 60% of the wine matured in 500-liter oak barrels and 40% was in raw concrete vats for 11 months. It's very aromatic, fruit-driven, floral and expressive, very open, extroverted and clean. It has good ripeness and a moderate 13.3% alcohol and great balance. 17,200 individually numbered bottles produced." 03/26
