| Tasting notes: A varietal Tempranillo from a single vineyard situated at 2100 feet above sea level. A spectacular liquoricey and herbal complexity on the nose.

| Producer: Pesquera
|
| Wine: Pesquera Crianza 2006
|
| Region: Ribera del Duero
Country: Spain |
| Grape: Tempranillo / Aragonez |
Tasting notes: "The 2004 Tinto Pesquera, from a great vintage, is opaque purple with a fragrant nose of lead pencil, earth, black currants, and blackberry liqueur that jumps from the glass. This is followed by a sexy wine with layered blue and black fruits intertwined with ripe tannins and good acidity. This superb, beautifully balanced effort should evolve for 4-6 years and drink well for another 10-15."
