What reviewers say
“💥 Limited edition and collaboration with Frank Gehry that drinks beautifully. This deep garnet wine offers a bouquet of ripe blackberry, cherry, and plum, with hints of vanilla. Full-bodied, mostly dark fruit (nearly jam) on the palate, finishing elegantly with lingering black fruit notes. Vintage note: 2012 was a challenging year in Rioja with drought conditions, but top producers like Riscal were able to produce excellent wines from their best plots. Bravo! 👏🏻”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Cherry-coloured wine, good depth of colour. Complex nose, notes of ripe fruit, balsamic nuances and mineral base. On the palate it is structured, with a fresh sensation and a concentration of polished tannins with a long finish.
Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection is a Spanish red from Rioja. The grape is Tempranillo.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 435 Spanish reds. The calibrated figure is built from 858 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 917 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Marqués de Riscal Frank Gehry Selection lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Spain (435 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 858.
