This red is dense and muscular, with rich flavors of kirsch, rose, sandalwood and vanilla. The tannins are chewy but well-integrated, and there's enough acidity to keep this balanced. Drink now through 2017. 580 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

The 2006 Anastasio is 100% Tempranillo that spent 8 months in oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it reveals a super-expressive, kinky bouquet of sandalwood, Asian spices, incense, lavender, and wild black berries. Layered and opulent on the palate while maintaining a sense of elegance, this impeccably balanced offering is approachable now but will deliver much pleasure for another 20 years.

This red is plump with ripe black fruit, while well-integrated tannins keep it graceful. Smoky, toasty oak adds depth, but doesn't dominate. Mineral and licorice notes add interest to the finish. Drink now through 2015. 500 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add

Earthy, leathery nose, warmly concentrated fruit. Nice lift of freshness despite the robustness. Classy vineyard wine.
