The garnet-colored 2006 Vina Pedrosa exhibits a lovely cherry-scented nose along with smoke, mineral, and incense. Elegant on the palate, it has a smooth texture, savory flavors, light tannin, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next five years. Importer: Christopher Cannan, Europvin; www.europvin.com

This red has a round, juicy texture, but the black cherry fruit is shadowed by gamy and metallic notes. Needs air. Drink now. 15,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
