Bodegas Escudero 2006 Becquer Red (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $22
Dark, balsamic aromas blend with hints of wood, bramble and briar to give this wine rusticity, while the palate is slick and medium in weight, with black-fruit and tea-like flavors. It’s a little narrow on the finish, but there’s also a creamy, oak-driven vanilla flavor that softens things up. A good wine that’s 70% Tempranillo and 30% Garnacha.  — M.S.  (8/1/2009)

Bodegas Escudero 2008 Fuente Milano Verdejo-Viura White (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $10
Pungent and sweaty smelling, and even though it’s 50% Verdejo and 50% Viura, it’s the Verdejo that stands out. Fresh and flashy in the mouth, with lively lime, gooseberry and green apple flavors. And the finish is zesty and wet, with plenty of acidity and spritz. Imported by Grapes of Spain. Best Buy.  — M.S.  (10/1/2009)

Bodegas Escudero 2008 Becquer Blanco White (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $18
The nose shows buttered popcorn, toast and baked apple, while the palate is tangy and tastes of tart white fruits, green apple and toast. Has good flow and a cleansing feel to it. Not bad for an oaky blend of Viura and Chardonnay.  — M.S.  (4/1/2010)

Bodegas Escudero 2008 Becquer Red (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $22
This is fairly mulchy on the nose, with an earthy prune aroma. It feels grabby and lean, with cranberry fruit flavor, bitterness and an herb accents. The finish stays murky, tart and mildly green.  — M.S.  (12/31/2012)

Bodegas Escudero 2009 Becquer White (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $18
Almond candy and lacquer aromas create a corny scent on the nose. This wine feels flabby and soggy, with buttery oak and little to no fruit flavor. Finishes woody, with vanilla and spice. A blend of 60% Viura and 40% Chardonnay.  — M.S.  (2/1/2013)
