"Deep, amber-rimmed red. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes dried cherry, raspberry preserves, pipe tobacco and succulent herbs, with potpourri, coconut and woodsmoke nuances building as the wine opens up. Sweet and seamless in texture, offering spice-tinged red fruit, spicecake and cola flavors that pick up a touch of gaminess as the wine stretches out. Barely perceptible tannins appear on a very long, smoky finish that leaves sweet chewing tobacco and smoked meat notes behind. All whole clusters; fermented in open-top stainless-steel tanks and aged for 30 months in neutral American oak barrels."

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.
