91 points Robert Parker: "[$10 list] The same characteristics are also present in the 2011 Rio Madre. It exhibits slightly riper blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of licorice, wood smoke, camphor and a vivid floral display. These cuvees are aged in French oak prior to bottling. Both should drink well for 2-5 years. (Oct 2012)"
90 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "(100% graciano, aged in French oak for ten months): Inky ruby. Spice-accented aromas and flavors of black and blue fruits and cola, with notes of dark chocolate and licorice. Concentrated and powerful on the palate, with a spicy note building with air. Intense licorice, blackcurrant and bitter cherry notes linger on the spicy, youthfully tannic finish. Outstanding value here; there are very few all-graciano Riojas made, and they all cost a lot more than this one. (Sep 2012)"

'100 Top Values of 2010' and 90 points Wine & Spirits: "[$10 list] The gentle sparkle of this wine carries scents of honeyed apple and red-apple skin. It's fragrant and clean, and lasts on fruit, a rich style with balance. For crab cakes. (Jun 2010)"
88 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$10 list] This is as crisp and dry as a whispy reed, with a mild grassy note on the nose. It feels fresh and focused, with lime, peach and apple flavors. Fruity, fresh and easy to like from start to finish, this is what a Best Buy should be. (Oct 2012)"
'Best Values,' Wine Spectator: "[$10 list] Fresh and balanced, with a creamy bead supporting apple puree, pastry cream, anise and preserved lemon notes. Drink now. (4/30/13)"
'Bronze Medal,' Decanter: "(11.5% alcohol) Notes of lemon and brioche on the nose elegantly matched on the palate with a crisp, juicy character. (Oct 2010)"
Segura Viudas is one of the top Spanish sparkling wine producers, notes for its high production standards and artisan Cavas. Seguar Viudas Brut Reserva, a méthode Champenoise Cuvée of Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo grapes grown in the renowned Penedès region of Spain, is clean and delicate, yet rich in flavor. Aged in the bottle for a minimum of three years, this fine cuvée is fairly crisp with an interesting floral note and mouth-pleasing sensation of creaminess.
Tasting note: The nose shows some yeast and dough aromas, along with lemon and red apple. The flavor is sweet Meyer lemon and red apple, and though it's not long in the finish, this is crisp and pleasing. This is an ideal Cava for parties and for very light appetizers.
