RAMIREZ DE LA PISCINA CRIANZA Tempranillo Rioja
This is a beautifully mature wine, dark cherry-red with purple hues. Well-balanced aromas of ripe fruit and oak. The balance between oak, fruit, alcohol content and tannins is also noticeable on the palate, with hints of vanilla spiced with fine oak. Wonderfully long with a lingering finish. $15.95/bottle

IPSUM RUEDA

This drinks way above its price point. Finishes juicy, penetrating and long, with a clinging mineral quality. $10.95/bottle
