Spain and Portugal Reviews

Vilano 2021  Ribera Del Duero
94 points
$64
Forget this in your cellar for a decade or so to find a fruity and savory gem of complexity as a reward for your patience.
Kirkland Signature 2017 Gran Reserva Ribera Del Duero

A bit of rusticity is in line with this traditionally styled Tempranillo with soft tannins, sweet tobacco, and cherry fruits; a medium bodied and exciting wine.

Terra Incógnita 2021  Ribera Del Duero

Rich and full bodied, this wine could hold up to some big dishes now or sit quietly in a cellar for years to come.

Delicious now with ripe and lush fruit but the bit of oak here might integrate more and make this even better with a couple years in cellar.

An approachable red wine for many food pairings and will go especially well with beef, exactly what you want from RdD.
