The winery, tasting room, barrel room and vineyards at Bodegas Muga are well worth a visit if you’re ever visiting the wine country in Spain. It’s pretty much the gold standard for state-of-the-art Spanish winemaking facilities. They do the virtually unheard of in making their own hand crafted custom barrels (over 14,000 in-house), and they give you endless Jamón ibérico and charcuterie to pair with their lights out Reds.
Armed with the best winegrowers, winemakers and equipment possible, they continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Rioja and make racier and racier blends that others simply cannot replicate. That’s why they’re the top dogs everyone’s chasing.
They manage 420 hectares of vineyards in some of the most desirable areas in the region – using no herbicides nor insecticides in their winemaking. They really are an institution. Robert Parker, Jr. called their Riojas, “among the finest wines you can find from this renowned appellation.”
Their newest addition to the fleet is a gorgeous Crianza that pays homage to the train station that was responsible for shipping wine from Rioja to Bordeaux during the Phylloxera epidemic. This vintage, the 2019, is just their second time making it but judging by the critical response and its lightning quick opening year sell out, it’s definitely here to stay.

92 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2019 El Andén de la Estación is a new red that takes advantage of the Barrio de la Estación, the train station neighborhood of Haro. It’s a Crianza with less extraction, looking for the elegance and finesse of the classical Rioja wines. It’s a blend of Tempranillo from their younger vines and Garnacha (that they buy) that matured in French and European barrels for 14 months. It’s a quaffable red with lots of Garnacha character. It’s floral, juicy and expressive, very open and approachable. This is delicious and still quite complex.”

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
