Opaque ruby. Smoke-accented cherry and cassis aromas, complicated by hints of mocha and cured tobacco. Spice-accented dark fruit flavors are enlivened by a jolt of zesty minerality, which adds back-end lift and focus. A licorice note emerges on the persistent finish, which is given grip by dusty, even tannins. ... More details

I also tasted the 2015 Crianza, which matured in 20% new barrels with some time in concrete vats before bottling. This is the selection from the best plots of their vineyards, slightly higher on the slope and with whiter soils, rich in marl, where they got riper grapes. It has high ripeness, 15% alcohol and relatively low acidity, but still does not feel overripe or alcoholic. It seems to have found its balance in an XL way, with a little bit the Chapoutier style of ripe tannins, not through extraction, but polishing them (polymerisation), often with some time in concrete. In fact in 2016 they purchased some concrete vats. The idea is to bottle it in spring 2017 (May/June), for sure before the summer. 18,000 bottles produced.

A meaty red, with dusty earth and savory spice details infused into the cherry and currant notes. Full, plush tannins give structure with accents of wild herb, anise and orange peel dominating the finish. Drink now through 2026. 3,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.

Varietal: Tempranillo

The wines made from the Tempranillo grape varietal have gone down in history as being some of the finest in the world, with the Spanish region of Riot being one of the most famed and respected examples of a quality red wine made with this grape. Elsewhere in the world, the Tempranillo grape has had plenty of success, and grows best in regions with a mixture of hot sunshine and cooling breezes. These grapes hold plenty of intense and interesting flavors, and are often said to hold many of the most sought after flavors to be found in a red wine. Leather, tobacco, plums and herbs are often noted in wines made with Tempranillo grapes, and the blended wines made with this varietal are often seen at the top of world rankings.

Region: Castilla Y Leon

In the heart of Spain, we find the beautiful - if somewhat arid and occasionally desolate - wine region of Castilla y Leon. Castilla y Leon is the largest wine region in Spain, covering a huge plateau rising up from its surroundings, and characterized by its dry and cracked soils, and intense summer heat. Such weather conditions can often make viticulture difficult, but the wineries which work in the region have generations of experience and expertise when it comes to making the most of the beautiful red and white wine grape varietals which grow well there. From Tempranillo to Verdejo, Castilla y Leon really has something to suit every palate, and offers the world a range of wines full of the passion and flavors of Spain.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
