GRAN RESERVA RIOJA '904' 1997, LA RIOJA ALTA

TASTING NOTES

One of the top wines from one of Rioja's most respected and traditional producers, the 904 Gran Reserva is aged for many months in large oak barrels to produce a powerful, oaky Rioja with all the classic hallmarks of the best of the region's wines.

"The 1997 Gran Reserva 904 has a slightly aged appearance with its brick-colored rim. Fragrant and complex due to the tertiary aromas from extended time in cask and bottle age, on the palate it is silky, elegant, and beautifully balanced. Its sweet fruit seems to go on and own with no rough edges to be found. It can be enjoyed now but will provide pleasure for another decade. 93 points." - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

PRODUCER NOTES

On July 10,1890, five Basque and Rioja-based vine growers created "Sociedad Vinicola De La Rioja Alta" in what is known as the Haro Station District. This was the beginning of a fascinating business venture in which the only dream of the five founders was to craft and age high quality wines. Jancis Robinson calls it "Spain's premier wine region".
