What reviewers say
“Muito bom. 93 Parker por 20,90€. Desembarquei hoje da Espanha com essa belezura na mala e abri para comemorar. Su nariz, dominada por los recuerdos de frutos silvestres y ciruelas, es la antesala a un cuerpo bien estructurado, con buena acidez, carácter y expresividad.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Sierra Cantabria Reserva is a red from Rioja, Spain, made from Tempranillo. The cheapest 750 ml listing found for it is $32.99, which puts the bottle in the $30–60 band.
The calibrated figure is built from 1,288 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,307 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 95 other reds from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Sierra Cantabria Reserva 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 · Spanien (96 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 1,288.
