SPAIN – RED WINE

R. LÓPEZ DE HEREDIA TONDONIA RESERVA 2013 DOCa Rioja

AGRAMONT GRAN RESERVA 2015 DO Navarra

The 2013 Reserva Viña Tondonia is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 10% Graciano and Mazuelo, grown in the calcareous soils of the Tondonia meander in Rioja Alta. Aged extensively in American oak, it offers restrained black fruit, wild herbs, balsamic hints and sweet spices with gentle cedar and vanilla notes. Medium-bodied with chalky grip and a layered, tertiary finish, this is a benchmark classic – refined, enduring and unmistakably Tondonia. Drinking window: 2025-2055. Score: 97 (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, May 22, 2025) Medium-bodied & Fruity 356337 (XD) 750 ml $77.95 2

Made with Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a bouquet of black currant, pomegranate, baking spice and coffee. A web of silky tannins encases flavors of black cherry, blackberry preserves, milk chocolate, aniseed, marjoram and lavender that endure into a pleasing finish. Score: 93 (Mike DeSimone, Wine

IZARBE GRAN RESERVA 2007 DOCa Rioja (Chavarri)

URBINA ESPECIAL RESERVA 2006 DOCa Rioja

If you love mature, traditionally made Rioja, this will put a smile on your face. Made from Tempranillo and 5% Graciano and Mazuelo, it has the freshness and elegance you’d expect from the cooler Cuzcurrita zone, spicy French and American oak, fine-grained tannins and palate-caressing wild strawberry sweetness. Drink date: 2022-2026. Score: 96 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2022 ) Medium-bodied & Fruity 10494 (XD) 750 ml $44.95 2 Featured in Age Before Beauty

Hazelnuts, chocolate, vanilla spices and touches of lanolin and tobacco to the dark cherries and plums. This is starting to gain tertiary complexity even though the cedary oak influence is still prominent, which actually serves to protect the wine from aging. Creamy, flavorful and long, with lots of juicy fruit and fine oak spices. Drink from 2026. Score: 93 (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, May 6, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 44870 (XD) 750 ml $51.95 3 Featured in Age Before Beauty

MONASTERIO DE LAS VIÑAS RESERVA GARNACHA/TEMPRANILLO/CARIÑENA/ CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020 DO Cariñena (Grandes Vinos y Viñedos) Cloves, cherries, mint chocolate and orange peel on the nose. Some vanilla bean, too. It’s full-bodied, spicy and zesty, with sleek tannins. Drink now or hold [till end of decade]. Score: 90 (Claire Nesbitt, jamessuckling.com, June 14, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 166579 (XD) 750 ml $16.95 2
