Garcia Figuero’s 2009 Figuero 4 Roble (100% Tempranillo as are each of these wines) spent 4 months in new, predominantly American oak. Dark ruby red in color, it exhibits an expressive nose of cedar, spice box, violets, incense, and blackberry. Surprisingly rich and concentrated for its humble price, this smooth-textured, lengthy offering will deliver pleasure over the next 6-8 years. It is an outstanding value that admirably displays the high quality of the Tempranillo fruit in 2009. Importer: Quintessential, Napa, CA; www.quintessentialwines.com
