This wine has a bright ruby color with intense aromas, expressive and well-integrated. Hints of licorice in a ripe red fruit bouquet. Fine nuances of the aging; spices, vanilla, and Mediterranean herbs. It is round, velvety and elegant. It has a deep and pleasant finish.

The Somm Journal:
"Eguía means 'truth' in the Basque language, and the Viña Eguía 2017 Reserva was true to the style of Tempranillo from Spain's Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alto regions. This classic expression, which spent two years in Amerian oak followed by another year in bottle, showed savory red fruits and dried herbs. Reservas represent some of the best quality for value in the wine world, and this one was no exception."

Wine Enthusiast (93 Points & "Best Buy"):
“Dark garnet in the glass, this wine offers aromas of cassis, dried Mediterranean herbs and saddle leather. The nice mix of savory and fruity flavors includes black-olive paste, thyme, roasted fennel bulb, pomegranate and raspberry. Downy tannins hang on into the enduring finish.”

James Suckling (90 Points):
"Aromas of black cherries and blackberries with hints of leather, spices and wet earth. Medium-to fullbodied. Round and creamy with plush tannins and luscious fruit on the palate. Flavorful finish. Drink or
hold."

The Viña Eguía winery was established in 1973 in Elciego and purchased by Bodegas Muriel in 2010. Elciego is a historic village in the Rioja Alavesa, bordering the Spanish Basque region. In Basque, “eguía” means truth. The brand is symbolized by an open hand over the label, which is in the shape of an open book–analogous to putting one’s hand on a bible to swear to the truth of what one is saying.
