"[Bright medium ruby. Roasted plum, meat and nutty oak on the nose. Very sweet, deep flavors of cassis, chocolate and licorice, given shape and clarity by sappy, harmonious acids. Broad, lush and full but also boasts terrific vinosity. Finishes long, smooth and sweet, with chewy, ripe, toothcoating tannins. Impressive."

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.
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.
