"Dark red. An oak spice- and vanilla-dominated bouquet of cherry jam, pomegranate, rhubarb and candied licorice is seductive and wonderfully expansive. Fresh and lively on the palate, with the intense cherry flavor accented by musky notes of mocha, licorice, clove and vanilla. Traditional Rioja at its best, offering a compelling combination of intense, sweet fruit; complicating earth and herbal tones; and gentle, silky tannins. Finishes very long, with impressive focus."

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.
