"The 2004 Altolandon marks the debut of this wine sourced from an organically farmed, cool-climate vineyard. The wine was aged for 12 months in a mixture of French and American oak. The wine is 50% Syrah with the balance consisting of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Garnacha. Purple/black in color, it offers up a brooding nose of pepper, grilled meat, sausage, blueberry and black currant. Tightly wound but dense and layered, the wine is slightly compact in the finish. If this wine continues to evolve, my score will appear conservative."

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.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
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.
