Earning three 92 point scores from some of the world’s top critics, there is no surprise that Robert Parker has alerted his readers that Sierra Cantabria’s wines “represent terrific value.” At under $30 per bottle, this high performance Rioja stands out for its profound, generous bouquet, and exquisitely complex yet balanced flavors.
