"Inky ruby. Smoky and wild on the nose, showing assertively pungent cherry and blackcurrant aromas, along with notes of pipe tobacco and smoked meat. Powerful, palate-staining cherry-cola and licorice flavors are given bite by a bitter berry skin quality. The licorice and smoky notes repeat on the long, focused finish, which reveals a sneaky sweetness. Showing a lot of power, and built to age."

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.
