The 2006 J.C. Vizcarra was aged for 9 months in French and American oak. It delivers enthralling notes of cedar, bacon, wood smoke, mineral, and blueberry and blackberry. It has more structure as well as greater depth and concentration. Give this hedonistic effort 2-3 years in the cellar and drink it through 2020.Importer: Patrick Mata, Ole Imports; www.oleimports.com

This muscular red shows tar, game and mineral flavors typical of the region, while a core of plum and blackberry fruit gives it balance and appeal. A bit rustic, but has the concentration to age. Best from 2010 through 2016. 1,500 cases made, 750 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
