Rioja can be lots of different things, including fresh, fruit-filled, and as easy to drink every day as a good Cru Beaujolais. While this blend of Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% white grapes aged in oak, it’s not oaky... Read More
This is terrific, with dark, plummy, fruit and mocha notes building through a firm, dry, finish. Ready to go with lamb or beef roast now and just getting better with air or time in cellar. High-impact Tempranillo.
A stylish, balanced and very tasty Rioja made from 95% Tempranillo and 5% Garnacha and aged 12 months in used French and American oak cask. Smells great with ripe red raspberry at the core and accents of cured tobacco and cinnamon.... Read More
Here's a nicely rich and darkly fruited cookout/casual food red at a bargain price. Lots of blue/black fruit, a touch of ink and good grip to the earth-and-fruit finish.
Alejandro Fernández helped revive the reputation of Spain's Ribera del Duero with his Pesquera winery before starting Condado de Haza to show how Ribera Tempranillo performed higher up the hillsides. There's a blend... Read More
A difficult 2020 growing season slashed production here by about half, so Silvia was only able to make 1,199 bottles of the wine that simply must be the finest 100% white Grenache made in the world. (When I told Silvia that in... Read More

Close out of remaining bottles. Always one of the most exciting values in Ribeira Sacra, this year's model has more flesh and richness than usual but just as much purity and finesse as ever. Lovely stuff.... Read More
A classic Rioja blend of Tempranillo (mainly) with Graciano and Graciano picked freshly ripe and aged in cask. The red fruit and sweet spice are both attractive here, as is the layer of smoky complexity from the time in barrel.... Read More
A brilliant value in sophisticated, 100% Tempranillo Rioja, hand-harvested and aged in 3-4 months in new French oak casks. The wine comes from vines aged 20-25 years in the Montebuena vineyard in Labastida, Rioja. Bodegas y Viñedos... Read More
This delicious red is all Tempranillo from the Alavesa district of Rioja but it’s not like many Riojas you’ve tasted before! Alavesa’s altitude and proximity to the Sierra de Cantabria mountains means Tempranillo’s... Read More
Close out on remaining bottles. The blend is similar to Perez's Ultreia St Jacques, but all the fruit comes from a tiny plot of 100+ year-old, ungrafted, vines in Bierzo's El Rapolao cru. The whole grape bunches go into... Read More
Close out on remaining bottles. From an ultra-tiny, one-quarter, acre vineyard planted to Bierzo's usual melange of mainly Mencia and then assorted red and white complementary grapes. A richer, creamier, expression than most... Read More
