2004  Crianza

2001  Gran Reserva

"The 2001 Gran Reserva, aged in American oak for 48 months, has a lifted minty bouquet reminiscent of mature Right Bank Bordeaux! The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins. It has the substance to suggest it will age over the next decade. Drink now-2022." - Wine Advocate

2011  Crianza

95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha treated in 70% French & 30% American oak. The oak treatment on this terrific little Crianza is a bit unusual as in Rioja, American oak is the traditional favorite. This wine has an interesting story… Catalan chef Ferrán Adrià's of El Bulli fame started a new project which opened in Barcelona in 2012. The restaurant, called Tickets, is dedicated to the tapas culture and Adrià has tapped the Luis Cañas Crianza as the restaurant's sole Rioja. Now that's a feather in your cap. his wine has a beautiful nose of cherry, spice and liquorice. On the palate it has layer upon layer of rich fruit flavours all surrounded by silky smooth tannins.
