93 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "Pure and precise fruit with blue and red berries, stones, flowers and subtle spices. Vibrant and full of fruit on the palate with very fresh acidity and some fine, nicely steely tannins. Good concentration. Drink or hold. (9/18/23)"
92+ points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Sela is a preview of what's to come from the vintage with its bigger brothers, fresh wines with stuffing and balance in this cooler year. This is very serious, clean, balanced, delicious to drink and is among the finest vintages for this bottling. It was produced with 89% Tempranillo, 7% Garnacha and 4% Graciano with classical parameters, 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.35 grams of acidity. It was bottled after spending 12 months in French oak barrels. A clean and modern delicious Rioja. Drink: 2024-2031. (2/29/24)"
92 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[14%] Made in the cooler, Atlantic-influenced 2021 vintage, Sela is Roda's biggest volume wine, running to more than 90,000 bottles. Tempranillo based with support from 11% Garnacha and Graciano, it's a smooth, gentle, aromatic style with silky tannins, understated oak and stylish raspberry and red cherry fruit. 2024-2029. (2024)"
91 points Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous): "A modern Rioja, the 2021 Sela is 89% Tempranillo, 7% Garnacha and 4% Graciano sourced from Rioja. Aged 12 months in oak barrels, this purple wine offers a reductive nose with peas, herbs, cherries, violets and liqueur-like aromas against a minty backdrop. Dry, rich and velvety, the fairly taut and dry tannins lead to a chalky, lasting texture. Drink 2024-2035. (Apr 2024)"
