Produced by La Rioja Alta, a storied winery in Rioja Alta founded in 1890; the 904 designation denotes one of its classic Gran Reserva wines. It is typically 90 % Tempranillo with 10 % Graciano, sourced from elite vineyards across Rioja Alta. The 2015 vintage was aged approximately four years in American oak barrels, racked manually every six months before bottling unfiltered.

Sappy, penetrating and gently chewy on the palate, vibrant mineral‑ and spice‑accented black raspberry, bitter cherry and rose pastille flavors deepen and turn sweeter on the back half. Sharp focus and floral lift on the impressively long, youthfully tannic finish
