Felix Callejo 2005 Seleccion de Vinedos de la Familia Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $100
A rich, deep style of Tempranillo with earth and leather aromas along with a lot of new oak. Violet in color, with matching aromas of plum, berry, tobacco and chocolate. Pretty yet stout in the mouth, with intense berry fruit flavors and all the length one could ask for. Rich and ready to drink, but can age until 2018 with no problem.

Felix Callejo 2007 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $30
Full and dark, with aromas of bacon, crusty minerality, black fruits and spice. Balanced yet bullish, with integrated tannins and toasty, coffee-infused flavors that go straight to black. Long and showing additional coffee on the finish. Drinkable now.

Felix Callejo 2006 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $40
Rich and very good, with depth and a chocolaty essence that shows itself on the front and back ends of the wine. Pure in terms of berry fruit flavors, and with good verve and mouthfeel. A balanced, spot-on wine with serious structure, style and follow through. Drink now–2015.

Felix Callejo 2003 Seleccion de Vinedos de la Familia Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $112
A very dense version of Tempranillo, with brooding aromas of pencil lead, mossy earth and full-stock black fruit. The palate is exceedingly rich, such that it's perilously close to raisiny. But in the end the wine holds its line and delivers all the chocolate and baked fruit a New World junkie might want.

Felix Callejo 2004 Gran Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $70
A wine that reflects its northern Ribera location (Sotillo) through zesty, pointed aromas and some gritty char and minerality. The nose shows plenty of solid oak, chocolate and spice, and in the mouth the acids are a bit sharp and thus the wine is kind of spiky and angular. Still, it’s a very nice RDD, just not as generous as it could or should be. Drink now–2019.

Felix Callejo 2006 Viña Pilar Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $22
A nicely made and easy to like kind of young Ribera red with clean, bold blackberry aromas and flavors that fit the wine’s big, tannic structure. Composed on the back palate and beefy on the finish. Perfect for grilled meats. Drink now through 2012.

Felix Callejo 2002 Seleccion de Vinedos de la Familia Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $108
The bouquet starts out with promising whiffs of molasses, bacon and black fruit but it loses form quickly, resulting in aromas of menthol and funky beet. In the mouth, it’s ultrasweet and candied, and the tannins are jackhammer hard. Imported by Quality Wines of Spain.

Felix Callejo 2008 Viña Pilar Roble Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Cherry and mild sawdust aromas are brought down by sharpness that is almost vinegar-like. The palate has an acceptable mouthfeel along with sweet and sour flavors of plum and berry. Tart on the finish, and a bit stemmy and sharp throughout.
