The 2007 Finca Resalso was sourced from younger vines and aged in French oak for four months. Dark ruby-colored, it emits an enticing perfume of mineral, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. On the palate it reveals an elegant personality, savory, spicy flavors, good depth, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink this tasty effort over the next four years. The Moro family has been making wine in Ribera del Duero for over 120 years. Importer: Please contact the winery to find your nearest importer. www.emiliomoro.com

Emilio Moro’s first foray into the land of value-priced wine is good but nothing special. The nose is brambly and dusty, like the inside of a Topps baseball card package. Meanwhile, the palate is tight and lean, with cherry flavors infiltrated by dry oak. Overall it’s typical of a solid but average red wine.——M.S.(6/1/2010)—— 85
