Bodegas Olarra 2004 Añares Reserva Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Dry and peppery to start, with muted berry fruit aromas along with wood shavings. The palate is snappy, clean and juicy, with raspberry, vanilla and tobacco-like flavors. More basic than special, with a steady, light-framed finish. More than functional; likely good with food.

Bodegas Olarra 2004 Cerro Añon Reserva Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Peppery and lightly herbal on the nose, with a whiff of dry red fruits. The palate is pretty snappy and angular, however, the red-fruit flavors mixed with pepper and spice ring true. Finishes dry without a whole lot of carry. Imported by Classic Wines, Inc.

Bodegas Olarra 2009 Otoñal Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Earthy and mildly medicinal smelling, with a healthy, not too stark palate that’s dealing pointed cherry flavors and some dry oak. It’s a touch sharp and angular, with a dry, peppery finish that’s lean, acid-driven and starching.

Bodegas Olarra 2006 Añares Crianza Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Pleasant but very basic, with a nose of dry cherry and a palate that’s crisp, lean and features flavors of tart plum and cherry. A decidedly crisp and lean style of Rioja, with no richness to speak of save for a hint of butter on the finish. Imported by Classic Wines, Inc.

Bodegas Olarra 2008 Otoñal Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Transparent red in color, with dilute light berry aromas. Basic but angular pie cherry flavors are tart even if they’re accented by buttery light oak, and the finish is dry but fresh. Simple, tangy and thin.
— M.S.
