James Suckling - Sept 29, 2022 - Luis Cañas Rioja Reserva 2016 - 91/100
Racy red berries, plums and cherries to the nose followed by a tangy twist of black pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate, with tight yet refined tannins. Not a lot of depth here, but shows elegance and good length. 95% tempranillo and 5% graciano. Drink now.

Tim Atkin - Rioja 2023 Special Report - Luis Cañas Reserva 2016 - 91/100
The Luis Cañas Reserva is a well-judged half way house between the modern and traditional styles. Marrying Tempranillo with 5% Graciano, mostly from vineyards on slopes, it sees a 60/40 mix of French and American oak and has bramble, sweet spice and balsamic flavours. 2023-29
