"Saturated purple. Deep, seductively perfumed nose of blackberry, blueberry, roasted coffee and graphite. More plush than its stablemates, with sweeter dark fruit flavors and supple texture. The darker qualities carry through the finish, which leaves behind strong, musky dried plum, cherry and mocha. With air, the fruit became fresher and sweeter, taking on a cassis and floral pastille character. This bruiser needs some cellar time but holds terrific promise."

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.
