The Wine Advocate - 21th Jan 2021 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2018 Artadi • Viñas de Gaín - 93/100 - 2021-2026 - $25-30
The young red 2018 Viñas de Gaín follows the same philosophy as the white, grapes from a variety of vineyards in Laguardia and Elvillar ferment in oak and stainless steel vats followed by malolactic in barrel and an élevage in oak of nine months. It showcases the serious and fresh style of the best wines from the year. It has cold fruit and a very fine thread in the palate, fine tannins, long and balanced, very fresh. It has depth and complexity. A very good wine, it transcends its price point, like an upgraded version of the 2016. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2020.

James Suckling - 25 Aug 2021 - Artadi Viñas de Gain 2018 - 94/100
Very pure fruit to this with blackberries and blueberries and some dried flowers. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a linear, refined finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
