The true glories of Marques de Murrieta are the red wines. The just-released, still young and unevolved 1990 Rioja Reserva is dominated by American oak. It offers a healthy dark ruby color as well as a tremendous amount of fruit and purity. Unless you enjoy copious quantities of wood, I recommend cellaring it for another 2-3 years. Like all of these wines, it possesses an ageless quality and will undoubtedly last for 20 years. All of these wines are available on an exclusive basis from the American importer, William Grant & Sons, New York, NY.
