Press / Wine Critic's Reviews
 
Notes from the Winemaker:

Gain" means "height" in Basque language and the vineyards for ARTADI Viñas de Gain are the ones at a highest altitude in Laguardia (680 meters above sea level). 100% Tempranillo, 12 months in French Oak.

Ratings / Reviews:

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 92 Points:
"The 2006 Vinas de Gain is old-vine Tempranillo aged in 40% new French oak for 12-14 months. Deep crimson-colored, it offers an alluring perfume of truffle, pencil lead, vanilla, blackberry, and black cherry jam. Full bodied, the wine is opulent yet elegant. It has enough stuffing to evolve for 4-5 years and should drink well from 2012 to 2025."

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - 91 Points:
"Inky ruby. Intensely perfumed, sexy bouquet of dark berries, fresh flowers and smoky minerals. Tactile and deep, offering powerful blackberry and mulberry flavors, chewy tannins and very good back-end minerality. Picks up sweet mocha, bitter cherry skin and candied licorice on the long, sappy finish. This wine is showing a more serious personality than I've ever seen at this stage." -Josh Raynolds, Oct '08
