winemaker's notes:

This is one of the most intense, pure and bright Tempranillo wines you’ll ever taste. It is made from 80-100 year old vines, which produce grapes with unmistakably pronounced concentration and complexity! An incredible value, this wine has consistently high quality every vintage.

Here, the fresh, red berried, mineral character of Ribera shows through, with a slightly spicy, minty note. This is one of only a few Ribera wines where you can taste the "cut" and chewy, juicy Tempranillo flavors unburdened by oak. A crisp fruited wine with structure and substance, it’s neither light nor unduly heavy. This would pair well with Thai beef salad, marinated Korean BBQ pork, Peking duck and meat or chicken dishes with a piquant play of spices.

alcohol by volume: 13.5%
critical acclaim:

"An excellent bargain, this 100% Tempranillo (80-100-year old vines) was aged completely in stainless steel. Patrick Mata told me that the village from which it emerges has only 95 residents, all of whom are grape farmers! This may be the "bargain of the year" in my tastings. It boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as copious notes of black cherry jam, licorice, blackberries and subtle hints of earth, pepper and meat."

This is always a great buy--usually around or under $15, it's a great 'go-to' wine for anyone looking for a fairly large red, that's not over-whelming, fairly food friendly and no oak!--which is nice change of pace for most of us. Great example of a region that really is perfectly suited for tinto-fino, or tempranillo.
rating (1/6/2013):

Great value! I found the nose to be very inviting. This wine had great texture and a lengthy spicy finish. The tannins were too pronounced, and it lacked complexity.
