Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2017 Honorable is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano and 5% other grapes from four head-pruned old plots in the villages of Lanciego, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Samaniego and Labastida. It's their most classical bottling, recovering a wine they produced since 1915. It's very ripe and shows aromas of crème de cassis and herbs, and it's a bit heady at 15% alcohol and with abundant, slightly dusty tannins after 18 months in barrels, mostly French and only 20% of them American. 2017 was a challenging vintage, and the wine shows it. 19,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021.

Features

Description

Gómez Cruzado Honorable is a wine that has been produced by the Bodegas Gómez Cruzado winery in Haro, D.O.Ca. La Rioja. It was made from the best harvests of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo and Viura grapes from the oldest vineyards located on the slopes of Sierra Cantabria. There the composition of the soils is clay-limestone.
This wine is perfect as an accompaniment to small game, big game, deer and roasted red meats.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand in 15 kg boxes and the bunches are selected in the winery.
On arrival at the winery, a pre-fermentation maceration is carried out for 4 days. This fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks, with temperature control, pumping over and gentle delestage.
The malolactic fermentation is carried out in new French oak barrels, where it remains for 18 months.

Taste

Gómez Cruzado Honorable is a balanced wine, with grapey flavour and spectacular acidity, which will give it a long life.

An elegant and persistent wine

This red wine is intense, structured, fresh and fruity, and represents the best of the fine wines that come from the original vineyards of La Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa. It is made only in years when the fruit is of exceptional quality.
It is tasty, balanced, complex and brings back spicy and fruity memories with a distinguished and persistent finish.
