"Deep ruby. Exotic, expressive aromas of blackberry, cassis and cola, with complicating suggestions of mocha and fresh flowers. Suave on entry, then ripe and smooth in the middle palate, with an appealing sweetness to its palate-coating dark berry compote flavors. Very fine, broad tannins add grip to the nicely persistent, sweet finish. This sexy wine is drinking well now."

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.
