"Medium bright ruby. Oaky aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, currant and spicy oak; nose shows a California-like sweetness. Lush, sweet and pliant, with gentle, accessible fruit and sexy oak spices. Delicious already, but has sound ripe acidity and solid backbone. Finishes with big, even tannins and very good length."

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.
