"The 2007 Rioja Reserva from Bodegas Pedro de Peciña comes in at an octane of 13.5 percent alcohol and is absolutely classic on both the nose and palate. The bouquet is a very fine constellation of red plums, sweet raspberries, toasted coconut, lovely soil tones, Rioja spices and hints of the nutskin to come. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with a velvety attack, a sappy core, outstanding focus and balance, moderate tannins, tangy acids and excellent length and grip on the beautifully balanced and complex finish. This is still a tad on the young side, but this is a simply beautiful bottle of old school Rioja. I had no difficulty drinking this wine today, but it will be even better . . ."

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.
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.
