The 92-point Gómez de Segura Rioja 2020 Magnum is a well-regarded Crianza from Rioja Alavesa, showing a deep dark cherry red color with a clean and shiny appearance. On the nose, it offers plum and bramble aromas with savory and lightly spicy hints, complemented by toasty notes from its 12 months aging in mostly new American oak barrels. The palate is approachable and warm, featuring dark fruit flavors, supple tannins, and well-integrated acidity, leading to a long, savory finish. This wine reflects the terroir of vineyards in the foothills of the Cantabrian mountains and along the Najerilla river, with a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes contributing to its complexity. The 2020 vintage had some climatic challenges but ultimately produced grapes with good ripeness and concentration. Regarding value, this Crianza offers a high-quality expression of Rioja Alavesa at a reasonable price point, especially in the magnum format, which is often prized for better aging potential and sharing. Given its strong score, balanced structure, and appealing flavor profile, it represents a good value for those seeking a classic, well-made Rioja Crianza with both fruit and savory complexity.
