Tasting and smelling like a fresh fruit cocktail, on the palate it displays lively aciditywith just enough fruit for balance. Drink it over thenext 12-18 months."

RED

Garnacha de Fuego
Aragon Garnacha 2010 . . . . . 6.99
88/100 - Wine Advocate.
89/100 - International Wine Cellar. "Dark purple. Seductive cherry and boysenberry aromas are complemented by a sexy floral note. Lush and weighty, with distinct sweetness to its round, jammy blackberry and boysenberry flavors. Finishes fresh and lively, with a spicy component lifting the dark fruit and adding focus. This is one of the best red wine values in the market."

Bodegas Ilurce
"Rio Madre"
Rioja 2010 . . . . . 7.99
88+/100 - Our score.
90/100 - International Wine Cellar. "(100% graciano): Glass-staining purple. Highly aromatic bouquet offers dark berry and cherry compote scents along with spicecake and licorice. Chewy tannins firm and focus the wine's deep bitter cherry and cassis flavors, which are complemented by notes of cracked pepper and spices. Finishes with building sweetness, an echo of licorice and impressive persistence, especially for a wine at this price." (Spain)

Condado de Haza
Ribera del Duero 2007 . . . . . 21.99
The International Wine Cellar's Josh Raynolds gave this 90-points when he tasted it in mid-2010. It's showing even better now!
91/100 - Our score.
90/100 - International Wine Cellar. "($29) Musky aromas of berry skin and cherry, with complicating notes of dried flowers and herbs. Firm on entry, then fleshier in the middle, offering sweet red fruit flavors and a subtle peppery quality. Sweeter on the anise-tinged finish, where the cherry element lingers with good intensity. This will be drinking well soon, or could even be enjoyed now with a little aeration."

Muga
Rioja Reserva 2007 . . . . . 21.99
91+/100 - Wine Advocate. "The 2007 Reserva is a blend of 70% Tempranillo with the balance Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano aged initially for 6 months in wood vats followed by 24 months in 60% new French and American oak prior to bottling without filtration. It displays classic Rioja aromas of cedar, leather, mineral, a hint of balsamic, and assorted black fruits. Layered on the palate but slightly austere at present, it has the structure to evolve for another 4-6 years at which point it is likely to have filled out thus meriting a higher rating. Drink this impressive Rioja from 2015 to 2027."
