The 2009 Vendimia Seleccionada (red) is pure Tempranillo aged in new French oak for ten months. It has a pleasant nose of blueberry, dark cherries and Indian ink, the oak lending this Rioja its vanillary veneer. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. Notes of blackberry and cedar dominate the middle, although the finish is rather formulaic. Drink now-2015. Importer: HAB North America, www.rgrant@habarcelo.es

The Cosme Palacio red wines begin with the 2008 Cosme Palacio Vendimia Seleccionada which was aged for 10 months in new French oak. Purple in color and displaying plenty of up-front fruit in a modern style, the wine’s nose sports aromas of toast, spice box, violets, mineral, and black cherry. Savory and supple on the palate with some elegance, this is a tasty, easy to understand effort that will provide pleasure over the next 6-8 years. Bodegas Palacio makes some wine (all 100% Tempranillo) under the Glorioso label. Importer: HAB North America; Tel. (561) 289-2852

The two red offerings include the purple-colored 2007 Cosme Palacio Vendimia Seleccionada, 100% Tempranillo aged for 10 months in new French oak. Wood smoke, spice box, violets, incense, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur aromas lead to a ripe, layered mid-palate with chewy fruit, savory flavors, and a bit of structure. It will deliver pleasure over the next 8 years. It lacks only complexity, but that may come with another 1-2 years in bottle. It is an outstanding value. Importer: HAB North America,; www.habarcelo.es
