The 2016 Cepa 21 (100% Tempranillo) offers a touch more richness and depth, with notes of ripe blackberries, toasted spices, lavender, and cedar. It's plush, full-bodied, and supple on the palate, with a great mouthfeel and loads of charm.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2020-2024, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, Dec 2019
The flagship wine that carries the name of the project is currently the 2016 Cepa 21, produced with youngish Tempranillo matured in French barrique for 12 months. It has some spicy and smoky notes from the élevage in oak, which gives it a showy profile. It's ripe without excess with a sweetness of fruit that coats the palate and makes it a bit jammy. There are plenty of tannins to stand up to food. 420,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2018.
