Wine Advocate Review
Rated 94+
The 2020 Hacienda Monasterio shows what Sisseck calls a "neo-classical" style of Ribera, with more freshness and 14.5% alcohol, harvested early and with higher yields. And possibly because of the Cabernet in the blend (around 10%), which also includes some Merlot and Malbec, the wine has great freshness (pH is 3.5) and avoids some of the excesses from the past. So, higher yields, an earlier harvest and careful oaking resulted in a more elegant wine. To me, it goes back to the benchmark Hacienda Monasterio, which for me is the 1996. A triumph over the natural conditions of the year. Drink 2023-2030.

Wine Tasting Notes
While retaining the complex aromatics that are a signature of this terroir - think orange peel and black olive tapenade, recent vintages have shown ever more elegance and precision. The Hacienda Monasterio Ribera del Duero Red Blend formerly known as Crianza is a blend of primarily Tempranillo with about 10-15% Cabernet Sauvignon and smaller portions of Merlot and Malbec.
