Critical Acclaim: 96 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
About the Winery: Bodega Cerrón is a fourth-generation family project in Fuente-Álamo, one of the higher elevation areas of Jumilla. The estate works organically, with some biodynamic parcels, and focuses on older vineyards that show a fresher, more mineral side of Monastrell.
About the Wine: Los Yesares comes from old, own-rooted vineyards in the historic Pedreras-Reventones area. The site brings together altitude, calcareous soils, sand, gravel, Mediterranean scrub, and old Monastrell vines. This is not the heavy, jammy version of Jumilla. It is Monastrell with tension, wild red fruit, herbs, and structure.
Tasting Notes: Red plum, black cherry, wild raspberry, thyme, lavender, crushed stone, and warm spice. The palate is concentrated but lifted, with firm but polished tannins, savory Mediterranean herbs, and a long mineral finish.
"The 2023 Los Yesares is closed and austere. It's always the tightest of the reds, with a notable absence of fruit, and is stony and serious. This is super mineral, very complete and has more mid-palate. It's powerful and very long, very fine-boned and with chalky tannins of a small granularity, with the core of Mediterranean plants. This is harvested some 10 to 12 days after La Servil, but the alcohol level is similar, around 14%. None of the reds show excess ripeness and come through as very balanced and never marked by the oak, despite having increased the time in oak this vintage to 18 months, in large foudres and barrels. This is really stunning. It comes from a fantastic zone in the village, where they are planting more vineyards, using the keyline system. It has stunning balance and the ingredients to develop nicely in bottle. 7,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025. Drinking Window 2026-2038." -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
