"Bright ruby-red. Fresh, complex, expressive aromas of black raspberry, violet and saddle leather, with sweet oak notes of espresso and mocha. Ripe, intensely flavored and bright, with very well integrated acidity giving the red fruit flavors an enticing sappiness. Finishes with sexy oak tones and excellent length; the substantial ripe tannins coat the front teeth."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
On Spain's high central plateau, Ribera del Duero makes powerful, concentrated Tempranillo (locally Tinto Fino). Wide day-night temperature swings yield deeply colored, structured and age-worthy reds.
Produces powerful, deeply colored Tempranillo from Spain's high plateau, prized for concentration and structure.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
