Bodegas Luzón 2005 Alma de Luon Red (Jumilla)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
Ripe, dense and powerful, with on onslaught of raisin, spice, pepper and leather on the nose. The palate is direct and pure, with clean flavors of berry, spice and chocolate leading to a long, layered finish. Beautiful wine; one of the best I’ve had from this region. 70% Monastrell with 20% Cabernet and 10% Syrah.

Bodegas Luzón 2007 Portú Red (Jumilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $69
Ripe and meaty, with bacon, earth, leather and inviting black fruit aromas. Not lazy at all; in fact a laser-like beam of acidity cuts through the palate, pushing bright, slightly fierce flavors of savory berry and minty oak. Finishes hot, spicy and with coffee and mocha. Cabernet-Monastrell to drink now through 2014.

Bodegas Luzón 2004 Altos de Luzon Red (Jumilla)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
One of the best efforts we’ve tried from Jumilla, Luzon’s luxury blend starts with coconut, mint, char and fudge, and below that is a treasure trove of deep black fruit. Huge blackberry and black cherry flavors are potent as they ride on a wave of jolting tannins. An affordable shining star for a rising region.

Bodegas Luzón 2006 Altos de Luzon Red (Jumilla)
- $19
A leader in user-friendly Monastrell from Jumilla is Luzón. Altos is the winery’s high-expression baby, and if you like a bruiser with char, toast, coffee and other nocturnal characteristics, then look no further. Dynamite in terms of ripeness, with monster black-fruit, chocolate and coffee flavors. Not for the weak.

Bodegas Luzón 2001 Red (Jumilla)
- Best Buy
- $14
For several years we’ve been impressed with this under-$10 Merlot, and in this go around the quality and purity are shockingly good. Aromas of smoke, mineral and sweet perfume set the stage for amplified cherry, raspberry, plum and chocolate flavors. A medium-bodied but healthy and spicy finish secures the final favorable votes. Best Buy.

Bodegas Luzón 2007 Luzon Red (Jumilla)
- Best Buy
- $9
Truly captivating wine for under $10? Yes, Luzón’s Monastrell-Syrah blend is exactly that. It delivers huge plum and spice notes, with tobacco, herbs and smoked meat working their way into the game. Remains powerfully fruity and spicy in the mouth, with a long, minty, medicinal finish. Competes with thousands of wines priced higher. Overdelivers by a lot!

Bodegas Luzón 2002 Altos de Luzon Red (Jumilla)
- Best Buy
- $10
This wine comes in two waves. The first is youthful and aggressive; it carries maple and sawdust aromas, and tons of powerful plum, cassis and smoky oak. The next wave is textured and chocolaty, and a little bit dark. Overall, it might not ooze elegance, but it’s certainly lively and big. The blend is Monastrell, Cabernet and Tempranillo.

Bodegas Luzón 2005 Selección 12 Crianza Red (Jumilla)
- $15
Starts out rustic and leathery, with hints of smoke, leafiness and earth along with baked berry and spice. This four-grape wine has good density and mouthfeel that frames leather, earth and slightly baked berry fruit flavors. Finishes chocolaty and sweet, with just enough acidity to maintain balance.
