Notes - Notes - Marqués de Vargas was built in 1989 on the Hacienda Pradolagar Estate in Logroño and was the first project of Grupo Vinícola Marqués de Vargas. The winery, set in the middle of its own vineyards like a “chateâu”, is located in the heart of the Ebro Valley, in a region known as the "Los Tres Marqueses" or the “Three Marquis”. In this winery three premium single vineyard red wines are produced in limited production. "This outstanding trio of wines begins with the 2003 Reserva, a wine composed of 75% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, 5% Garnacha, and the balance a field blend. It spent 23 months in a mix of French, Russian, and American oak. Dark ruby purple-colored, it has a fine nose of earth, vanilla bean, tobacco, black currant, and blueberry. Medium to full-bodied with excellent focus for this vintage, the wine has ample fruit, complex flavors, and excellent balance. Drink it now and over the next 6-8 years." 90 Points, The Wine Advocate.
