Marques de Murrieta Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial 2009

96 Points Robert Parker

Notes from the Winemaker

Only the finest vintages from the 741-acre Ygay Estate are used to make Castillo Ygay. This Gran Reserva Especial is made from tempranillo and mazuelo from vineyards located at 500 meters above sea level. Limited in production and sought after all over the world, it is the worthy choice for the winery's emblematic Castillo Ygay label.

Pairs beautifully with baked beef sirloin, cameroon black pepper and wild mushrooms, as well as roasted suckling pig with baked acid apple. Decanting the wine for 20 minutes is recommended. Best enjoyed between 64º- 66ºF.

Blend: 81% Tempranillo, 19% Mazuelo
