91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2012 Finca Valpiedra Reserva is produced with the grapes from older vineyards.
2012 was a very dry year that delivered concentrated wines. It's matured in French barriques for 22 months.
The nose is quite developed, with notes of candied fruit, leather and spice, and it feels a bit warm.
The palate is medium to full-bodied and shows grainy tannins."

 

Our Thoughts .....

In a Very dry year with very high temperatures in summer, very concentrated wines  have evolved. 
While there is great character and appeal now, aging 3 - 5 years will complete the maturation into a complex and fully balanced wine. 
 With minerality and red and black fruits showing up
 in the nos
along with vanilla, cedar, mild tobacco and spices.
Mid palate shows raspberries and black cherries with undertones of leather and spice,
although it's medium bodied due to the bottle age, it is expansive and rich.

About Finca Valpiedra ….

Finca Valpiedra winery is owned by the Familia Martínez-Bujanda. More than a century has passed since the family’s patriarch, Joaquín Martínez-Bujanda, began making wine in 1889; now his great-grandchildren, Carlos and Pilar, are carrying on the tradition. They realized their dream of fully expressing wine from a single vineyard by opening Finca Valpiedra in 1999.
As a testament to the quality of Finca Valpiedra’s wine, the estate has been inducted into the exclusive organization Grandes Pagos de España. The group’s mission is to defend and propagate the culture of “Pago” wine, meaning wine produced in a specific terroir that reflects the distinct personality of the soil and climate. To become a member, a vineyard must surpass strict quality standards and also exhibit a degree of uniqueness in terms of soil, climate or grape variety that sets it apart from the surrounding area. The association’s membership includes only 25 estate wineries throughout Spain.
