Pinord’s wines from Ribera del Duero (all made from 100% Tempranillo) begin with the 2009 Vaquos Cosecha, an unoaked cuvee that offers up aromas of mineral, licorice, spice box, and blackberry. Savory, ripe, and forward on the palate, it takes advantage of the ample fruit provided by the great 2009 vintage. It is a solid value meant for drinking over the next 3-4 years. Bodegas Pinord produces wine in several DOs including Cava, Penedes, and Ribera del Duero.Importer: Andres Arribas, Wine Associates, Whitehouse Station, NJ
