On the palate that "flannel-y" texture that is a hallmark of Pedrosa, and everything nicely layered and integrated, with a clean, refreshing finish that begs another sip. Hard not to love.

Nice perfumed aroma, smooth berry flavor with a nice finish that lasted. Plan on adding more, price is reasonable. (2668 views) | | | Tasted by cpsmith33 on 5/8/2012 & rated 89 points: Tasting with Maria Jose of Lopez de Heredia and Jose Manuel of Perez Pascuas; 5/8/2012-5/9/2012 (Union Square Wine): 100% tempranillo, 18 months in oak. Didn't make the Gran Reserva in 2008 so its in the Crianza. Chocolate and red fruit, some dried orange peel, a bit of stemminess at the end. (3841 views) | | | Tasted by Jojala on 2/20/2012 & rated 86 points: I have had very good vintages of this wine, but this one (or bottle?) disappointing. Green is the best definition. First day lots of oak, add the greenness and somewhat thin overall feel and it is not much that you have. Acidity is pronounced. Second day a better wine but still greenish by profile. My better half thought this was flawed bottle, perhaps. (3582 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 8/24/2011: Warm spice on the nose, rich, expressive but restrained. Really delicious.

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
