Ninety + Cellars Rioja Crianza Lot 175

Rioja in Northern Spain is best known for barrel-aged red wines made from Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes. It is Spain's most famous wine region. This particular Rioja wine is made from 100% Tempranillo. Vineyards are located among the smooth slopes of the Sierra de Yega where altitudes reach up to 2,400 feet. Reaching optimum grape ripening in the vineyard allows the wine to develop mature tannins which will result in wines with balanced structure and the capacity for aging.

The grapes that go into this wine are hand-harvested from hillside vineyards of limestone and rocky soils near the Rio Oja. The wine matures for a minimum of one year in barrel (Crianza)

Tasting Notes

A full bodied, smoothly-textured wine with fresh red berries, gentle flavors of cherries, vanilla and toast with a slight finish of dark chocolate. Serve alongside cured meats, aged cheeses or grilled steak with garlic and herbs.

We'll Admit It, We Love Great Wine

That’s why we started 90+ Cellars.

It all started in the spring of 2009. Armed with a copy of the latest Wine Spectator, founder Kevin Mehra set out on a mission to bring higher quality wine to the market for a better price. He started calling wineries with a history of high ratings to ask if they had wine for sale. Some told him to get lost, but in the end, he found a handful of wineries that liked his concept. The plan was simple: we put their wine behind our label, and sell it for less.

But why would wineries want to do that?

You may recall that the economy wasn’t in the best shape in 2009. Demand for premium and luxury wines had plummeted and inventories were piling up. Rather than discount their wine and erode the value of their brand, we found that wineries were willing to part with a certain percentage of their production for a reduced price.

It was a win/win scenario. Wineries got to sell more wine, and consumers got access to better wine at lower prices.

Our company and industry has changed quite a bit since we launched; but our mission and our ability to offer great wine for a great price has not. With our Wine Director, Brett Vankoski, we continue to seek out the best opportunities in the market and turn those into great values in the bottle for you.

Today, 90+ Cellars is one of the fastest growing wine brands in America. We are a modern day négociant – working with acclaimed wineries and vineyards to curate a portfolio of fine wines from all over the globe. We do this because we love great wine, and we want to make drinking great wine easier and more affordable for you.
