Tempranillo is the classic red wine-producing grape of Spain. It forms the basis not only for such celebrated wines as those from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, but also for those from emerging regions such as Toro. The "hottest" red wine region in Spain, however, just may be Priorato in the province of Tarragona, south of Barcelona. Here, century-old plantings of Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan) on slate-and-schist soil are being revived to produce wines of both astonishing power and remarkable finesse. More

91+ points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$20 list] The 2008 Pruno, from the estate’s younger vines, is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it offers up a sexy bouquet of Asian spices, incense, cedar, mineral, and assorted black fruits. Super-rich, bordering on opulent, it has layers of succulent, spicy fruit, enough structure to support 2-3 years of cellaring, and exceptional length. This sensational value over-delivers in a very big way. (Apr 2010)"

90 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "($20 list; includes small amounts of cabernet sauvignon and merlot) Deep ruby. Expansive aromas of fresh red berries, Asian spice and minerals, with a subtle floral quality. Silky and seamless, with sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and an exotic floral pastille note adding complexity. Fine-grained tannins add shape on the finish and fade quickly into the sweet fruit. This is delicious right now. (Nov/Dec 2010)"

91 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "(100% tempranillo, from vines planted in 1957 at 660 meters altitude; aged in French oak, half of it new, for 17 months and bottled without filtration): Glass-staining ruby. Explosive, seductively perfumed aromas of candied red and dark berries, incense, rose pastille and Asian spices. Sappy, penetrating black raspberry and blueberry flavors show excellent depth and clarity, with smoky mineral and star anise nuances gaining strength with air. Closes sweet and very long, with lingering spiciness and gentle tannins. Importer Jorge Ordonez told me that lots of high-end oak is used here, from the likes of Taransaud, Darnajou and Dominique Laurent, for example. (Sep 2012)"

90 points Peñín Guide: "(100% tempranillo). Colour: bright cherry. Nose: ripe fruit, sweet spices, creamy oak, varietal, characterful, earthy notes. Palate: flavourful, fruity, toasty, round tannins. (2013)"

90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Hatched from the modern model, this dark, oaky Tempranillo is saturated in color, with flush, potent aromas of boysenberry, wood spice and lead pencil. It’s lively and bringing the volume, while flavors of charred, savory blackberry and barbecue end in a crusty tasting finish with some heat. Drink now through 2018. 2,000 cases produced. Alcohol 15%. (May 2013)"

This single vineyard-designated wine has plenty of red cherries, blueberries, mulberries and red raisins, depicting grapes pushed to full ripeness without going beyond the boundary into excessive overripeness. The oak character is relatively elegant with toasty, coffee hints only, and the balanced wine shows some lingering length as well. Drink now or in the next five or so years. Bodegas Volver is a project developed and co-owned by Jorge Ordoñez and Rafael Cañizares. This winery is located in the best terroir of La Mancha found in the eastern region of the DO. The soil is the reason the winery committed to purchasing 247 acres of vineyards with deep sandy soils, iron-rich clay, and a thick layer of chalk that are located at an altitude of 1,980 feet.

90 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "(made from a blend of garnacha, cariñena and syrah, fermented in stainless steel and raised in older French oak): Bright violet color. Aromas of cherry, redcurrant, and potpourri, with a mineral topnote. Spicy cherry and earth flavors show a sexy floral nuance, strong minerality and very good focus. Finishes on a bitter cherry note, with strong cut and lingering spiciness. (Sep 2012)"

89 points Robert Parker: "[$17 list] The 2010 Zerran was aged 16 months in 2 and 3-year-old French oak barrels. It exhibits copious notes of black cherries, tobacco leaf, underbrush, forest floor, licorice and pepper. Terrific fruit on the attack follows through on the mid-palate and finish. This is a robust, medium to full-bodied, impressive red wine. Production from the Rueda vineyard (38.3 acres) owned by Jorge Ordonez was begun in 2011. This well-known white wine appellation sits on the border of the province of Segovia. The 2010 and 2011 Zerran come from a vineyard planted at 1,500-1,800 feet altitude. They are blends of Grenache, Mazuelo and Syrah whose vines were planted between 1934 and 1942. (Oct 2012)"

88 points Peñín Guide: "(50% garnacha, 40% mazuelo, 10% syrah). Colour: bright cherry. Nose: ripe fruit, creamy oak, mineral. Palate: flavourful, fruity, toasty, round tannins. (2013)"
