"This mature red shows ripe cherry and raisin flavors, with rich chocolate and tobacco notes and bright acidity. The tannins are firm but well integrated, and the long finish is scented with cedar, tobacco and raisin. A rustic wine with a lot of heart."

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.
