\n\u2018San Vicente 2011\u2019 and \u2018El Puntido 2011\u2019 receive 97 points and \u2018Sierra Cantabria Reserva \u00danica 2011\u2019 scores 94 points.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Eguren family wines have once again received international critical acclaim. \u2018San Vicente 2011\u2019 occupies the top spots of this ranking, scoring 97 points, followed very closely by \u2018El Puntido 2011\u2019, also with 97 points, and \u2018Sierra Cantabria Reserva \u00danica 2011\u2019 with 94 points.<\/p>\n
The renowned critics Sarah Jane Evans and Tim Atkins authorize this list of the best red wines from Rioja. According to Atkins, \u201cRioja offers incredible quality at reasonable prices,\u201d this is all \u201cthanks to a new generation of wine winemakers, greater focus on vineyards origin and its identity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarah Jane says that \u201cchange is in the air\u201d and this is partly down to\u2019 producers who have chosen to avoid the traditional classification of crianza, reserve and so on\u2019 so \u2018this classification venerates age but does not recognize excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sierra Cantabria Group on the search for excellence<\/h2>\n

Over five generations, the Eguren family has been dedicated to vine cultivation, creating and producing the best wines possible. This is how we have passed things down from fathers to sons since 1870, sharing our knowledge and tradition, secrets and tricks of the trade, love for the earth and for what is ours. A chain of transmission in which we have gradually been incorporating new advances in wine-making technology in a respectful and conciliatory way.<\/p>\n
The quality of great wines does not just come about by chance. Excellence requires effort, it requires knowledge and passion. But that alone is not enough -things that are in our hands as humans- we also rely on the generosity of the earth and cooperation from the climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
