Red Wine by Artadi from Rioja, Spain. Already complex both aromatically and on the palate, it has superb materials while appearing to be more structured than the 2004. Purchasers will need to be a bit more patient with this 2005...

Red Wine by Bodegas Fernando Remirez de Ganuza from Rioja, Spain. This single vineyard, estate-bottled, unfiltered Rioja is given an unusual upbringing of one year in tank followed by two years in French and American oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Its dense ruby/purple hue is accompanied by sweet aromas of cherries, currants, licorice, and smoky oak. A supple texture is somewhat deceiving as there is plenty of tannin beneath the wine's full-bodied richness and intensity. Beautiful purity and overall harmony suggest a balanced and long life. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate 94 Points

Red Wine by Aalto from Ribera del Duero, Spain. The 2005 Aalto, made from 100% Tinto Fino, is a deep purple color with an enticing nose of wood smoke, bacon, floral notes, spice box, and blackberry. This leads to a powerful, layered, intense...

Red Wine by Sierra Cantabria from Rioja, Spain. Differentiated personality, good varietal fruit expression, traditional yet modern.

Red Wine by Sierra Cantabria from Rioja, Spain. 100% Tempranillo, 50 year old vines. Aromas of roasted nuts, black fruit, toasted bread, and Moroccan spices. Old vine mouthfeel, with ripe tannins and sweet blueberry fruit. Deep red. Restrained, elegant aromas of redcurrant, strawberry and cherry. Then sweeter and denser in the mouth than the nose suggests, with strong blackcurrant and cherry flavors nicely complemented by sexy oak spice and a subtle mineral quality. Finishes chewy, powerful and rich, with a full, broad expression of sweet dark fruits. This is delicious.IWC
