Wine Spectator
This powerful red is rich and thick on the palate, even syrupy, with ripe flavors of blueberry and cassis and plenty of espresso-scented oak. But it's not jammy. Fresh and balanced, this carries its considerable alcohol with grace. Not traditional in style, but impressive. Drink now.Additional Information

RiojaLocated in north central Spain, Rioja is the country’s best-known wine making region. Rioja produces both red and white wines, but the red wines made from Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache) and Mazuelo are known more widely than the whites. Red Rioja is divided into four categories: Rioja, aged less than a year; crianza, aged at least two years; Rioja Reserva, aged at least three years; and Rioja Gran Reserva, aged at least five years with two in oak and three in the bottle.

SpainSherry and Rioja have long been the best-known Spanish wines outside Spain, but Cava, Rivera del Duero and other wine regions are gaining notoriety. Tempranillo and Grenache (Garnacha) are the primary red grapes used, while Albariño and Chardonnay lead white wine production. Spanish wines are aged at the winery and, contrary to most winemaking philosophies, are released only when they are ready to drink. Spanish wines are usually aged in Spanish, French or American oak, and tend to be big and ripe thanks to the warm dry climate.View all our items from Spain
