Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Finca Iscorta De Peciña Gran Reserva is their usual blend of Tempranillo with 3% Garnacha and 2% Graciano, sourced from 50-year-old vines from their Finca Iscorta vineyard in the Sonsierra zone; therefore, it is a single-vineyard bottling. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in well-seasoned American oak barrels for 48 months with manual and gravity rackings every six months. This feels very harmonious, combining some primary notes with more-developed tertiary aromas. The palate also reveals a rare mix of power and elegance that only the very best vintages are capable of. It has polished tannins, good volume, freshness and length. Drink or hold, there should be no rush.

COMMENTARY: Gran Reservas from Rioja are often some of the world's most interesting wines. Is this a New World or Old World wine in style? TASTING NOTES: The suave 2010 Bodegas Hermanos Peciña Finca Iscorta exhibits a decidedly pungent personality with its flavors that combine earth, chalk, and herbs with lots of beautiful fruitiness. Pair the wine's complexity style with a rosemary-infused spit-roasted chicken. (Tasted: February 15, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

There’s a wealth of rich, dark and ripe fruit on offer here with dark plums and plenty of baking spices. Some tarry notes, too. The palate has density and weight, delivering rich ripe-plum flavors. Drink now.

Generous yet delicate, this red offers berry, dried cherry, floral, spice and vanilla flavors in a supple texture, featuring light tannins and orange peel acidity. Focused, with a juicy finish that draws you back. Drink now through 2022.
Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
