Country: Spain
Region: Ribera del Duero

Hacienda Monasterio is owned by Carlos del Rio whose family has been in the sherry
business for decades. Being fortunate enough to own some prime, south-facing parcels
on the right side of the river, Carlos hired Peter Sisseck, the owner/winemaker of
the famed Ribera estate Pingus to take over the winemaking in 1995. Peter has helped
to turn this old estate into a Ribera powerhouse with wines that can age for years.

Untitled
"Elegant and polished, with blackberry and black cherry flavors accented by toasty, vanilla-scented oak and backed by focused tannins. Graceful through the long, floral finish. Drink now through 2009. 15,000 cases made. –TM" -Rated 92, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"2001 was a magical vintage in Spain, and the Hacienda Monasterio’s 2001 Crianza is a brilliant offering from Ribera del Duero. The genius of Peter Sisseck (of Pingus fame) is behind this outstanding cuvee. Full-bodied and elegant, with aromas and flavors of cedar wood, smoky tobacco, black currants, roasted meats, and herbs, it is a broad, expansive, pure Crianza offering a layered texture and terrific power as well as elegance. Drink it over the next 7-10 years." -Rated 92, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Untitled
"Rich, opulent fruit style on the nose and ripeness continues onto the mouthfilling palate. Structured fruit tannins, well-matched oak. Long. Drink 2006-2009." -Rated 4 Stars, Decanter
