Cepa 21 2006 C21 Red (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $53
Big, brawny and modern, this saturated Ribera weighs in at 15% and shows it on the nose and palate. Aromas of menthol, tobacco and sexy black fruit are very much 21st-century, while the palate is ripe, tannic, lively and full of black cherry and fudge flavors. A wine for those who like ’em big; there’s no shortage of energy, tannin or structure. Hold for another…

Cepa 21 2007 C21 Tinto Fino (Ribera del Duero)
- $25
Floral and lighter bodied, with attractive red fruit aromas and a modicum of exotic spice. The palate is tight, pure and a little sharp and pointed, while the flavors are of flashy, zesty raspberry. A juicy wine that treads lightly rather than with a hammer.

Cepa 21 2008 Hito Tinto Fino (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Punchy berry aromas are floral and jumpy, and the palate is more sheering and tart than expected, but still fresh and clean. Zesty black cherry flavors are softened by buttery oak, and the finish is racy. Could use more flavor and depth along with less acidic bite.

Cepa 21 2009 Hito Tinto Fino (Ribera del Duero)
- $20
Solid and leathery on the nose, with normal berry and plum aromas. The palate is full, round and supremely tannic, with big berry, plum and herbal flavors that culminate with more hard tannins and chocolate. A rubbery wine that hits hard.

Cepa 21 2008 C21 Tinto Fino (Ribera del Duero)
- $25
Heavily oaked, with strong aromas of hickory, vanilla, mint and lacquer along with black cherry. Like most ’08s from RDD, this wine is clipped and tough in the mouth, with lemon, toast and herbal berry flavors. Toasty and blackened on the finish.
