90+VM
"(Raised in a combination of French and American oak): Opaque ruby. Smoky, oak-accented aromas of cherry, blackberry and violet, with an exotic note of Indian spices in the background. Fleshy and broad on entry, then tighter in the mid-palate, offering lively red and dark berry flavors and a hint of candied licorice. Finishes with youthful tannic grip and good spicy persistence. Give this wine at least another couple years in the cellar to allow it to stretch out."

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.

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.
