Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby. Pungent bouquet of high-toned cherry, tobacco and peppery spices, along with deeper suggestions of vanilla and dark chocolate. Sappy, spicy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry, chewing tobacco and rose pastille flavors and a jolt of zesty acidity. Stretches out on a long, gently tannic finish that’s sharpened by a late note of cracked pepper. This wild wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, then aged for a year in tank followed by two years in a combination of French and American oak barrels.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    Very brash, ripe and dark toasted spices here. Plenty of oak. The fruit is in the ripe, dark-plum zone. On the palate, there’s a wealth of rich, dark chocolate and roasted coffee with a smooth, supple array of fine tannins. Good freshness. Drink or hold.

Bodegas Ramirez de la Piscina  Winery Image

The name Ramírez de la Piscina traces its lineage back to the Navarra Kings who fought in the First Crusade during the 11th century. In early 1945, Julio Ramírez de la Piscina, followed the tradition inherited from his parents in Ábalos, and continued cultivating the family vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and began producing traditional Rioja wines. In 1961, Julio moved to Bilbao with his wife Angela and began selling his wine in the old Bodeguilla Riojana in the Plaza del Corazón de María.

In 1973, Bodegas Ramírez was officially founded and began to sell bottled wine under this name. In 1980, the fourth generation of the Ramírez de la Piscina family took over management of the winery, and in 1987, the name was changed to Bodegas Ramírez de la Piscina. The name change honors the family's historic surname, which is an ancient aristocratic Medieval Riojan name, originating from a 12th Century Romanesque church nearby the vineyards called Santa María de la Piscina.

All of the vineyards are estate owned and the vast majority of the plantings are Tempranillo on high density trellis. The oldest Tempranillo vineyards are head trained, and the family owns a few small plants of Garnacha, Viura, and Malvasia, that are used for the Rosado and Blanco. Ramirez de la Piscina champions the tradition of ageing classified, traditional styled Rioja.
