What reviewers say
“Second time having this Burgundy styled Rioja, a blend of Garnacha, Graciano and Tempranillo with Tempranillo not taking the dominate role, elegant in style very different from the old school Rioja; ruby purple magenta in color, fresh and clean nose of morello cherry, raspberry, …”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Olivier Rivière Rioja Rayos Uva is a red from Rioja, Spain, made from Tempranillo. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $12.50, which puts the bottle in the under $15 band.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 152 other reds from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 1,719 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,754 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 Olivier Rivière Rioja Rayos Uva 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 · Espagne (153 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 1,719.
