Bodegas Fontana’s 2008 Misterio de Fontana from the obscure DO of Ucles is made up of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Syrah aged for 7 months in seasoned American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up an attractive nose of damp earth, spice box, cherry, and blueberry. Plush, succulent, and easy-going, this tasty, pleasure-bent wine will drink well for another 4 years.
