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.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The very toasty eponymous 2014 Finca Villacreces follows the line of the 2012 I tasted last time. It's a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot from their estate vineyards in the village of Quintanilla de Onésimo. The vines are organically-farmed and the wines matured in French oak barrels for 14 months, where 50% of the barrels were new and the other half were second-use. It's a powerful, ripe and generously-oaked Ribera del Duero, with clout and concentration, but with good balance. The tannins are fine-grained and there is good freshness. It should develop nicely in bottle
