The 2009 Finca La Cuesta came from a single 60-year-old vineyard planted on slate. It was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 12 months in French oak, some of it new. It emits a pleasing perfume of violets, cedar, balsamic, mineral, and black raspberry leading to a racy, elegant, pleasure-bent red that should drink well for another 5 years. Bodegas y Vinedos Luna Beberide is an excellent source of value-priced wines from the increasingly fashionable DO of Bierzo.Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; Tel.

The 2008 Finca la Cuesta is a single vineyard Mencia sourced from 60-year-old vines. It was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 12 months in French and American oak. It exhibits a splendid, nearly kinky bouquet of roasted black fruits, smoke, and herbs. Smooth-textured, already complex, and seriously pleasure-bent, this lengthy effort will evolve for at least another 2 years and drink well through 2018. It is a terrific value.Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; www.grapesofspain.com
