March 9, 2011 - Bright ruby color. Nondescript nose. Tastes of black cherry and currant. Earthy mid palate and finish with some good acidity.

January 27, 2011 - Opened for a few hours- not decanted. A full and dense garnet gaining clarity at its edges. Barnyard-y notes on the bouquet with red fruit and maybe even a little apple and curry spice. Much darker profile on the palate with anise and black cherry, along with a gamey and savory undercurrent of flavor. Silky in feel, with a lush structure that finishes with dusty tannins and sweet red and dark berry fruit notes- medium in length. Ripe and rustic.

December 25, 2010 - This bottle was very different from the previous one I had. Seemed thinner with less fruit. Could be bottle variation?

November 25, 2010 - I like this Tempranillo blend from the Duero Valley in Castilla y Leon. Soft purple color, wonderful tartness on the palate and finish. Prefer a bit more structure and texture, but at $12 a bottle, no complaints.

January 31, 2010 (link)(Abadia Retuerta Rívola Vino de la Tierra, Castilla y León) Abadia Retuerta, a large wine estate founded in 1996, is in the village of Sardón del Duero, which lies just outside the Ribera del Duero region in the province of Castilla y León. Rívola is made mostly from Tempranillo, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2007 is a medium-ruby color with pink-purple edges. Notes of violets, granite, and tart cherries emerge on the nose, followed by cranberries, a hint of dill, and charred cedar plank. Potpourri, dried fruits, and smoke linger on the palate. Try it with smoked meats or duck with pomegranate sauce. Hot Picks
