Rioja lovers, this is one you won’t want to miss: An exclusive, friends-only savings of up to $108 from the powerhouse Tempranillo region you’ll want to drink next.

Just southwest, Ribera del Duero is quickly becoming Rioja’s rival, admired for age-worthy reds that hum with sweet-savory fruit, are supremely balanced and eminently drinkable. Or, as Decanter says, that are “in line with great wines all over the world.”

A winery called Vega Sicilia has emerged as the area’s best producer and an icon of Spanish wine in general. Its flagship cuvée has become the most sought-after collector’s red in Spain, sold for up to $800 a bottle.

So, when we got a call from our pal Javier Murúa with a lead on a rare, nine-year-old Ribera del Duero Reserva, our ears perked up.

You see, today, Javier runs estates across Spain as the third-generation face of Bodegas Muriel…but we’ve known since he first started out. He recently led his family’s foray into Ribera with the purchase of a winery a mere 14 miles from Vega Sicilia and discovered a cellar full of treasures he’s still tasting through.

One in particular—a perfectly matured 2016—was so delicious, he knew he couldn’t keep it to himself. And guess which old friends he offered it to...

A broad, authentic expression of Ribera, it delivers wild and dried strawberries framed by dark earth and cocoa nib. And with nearly a decade of age, it’s finally hitting its peak drinking window. Javier’s sending us just 250 cases. You can reserve you share right now for as little as $24—and save $108 on a case.
