Finca Torremilanos 2008 Cyclo Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $58
Despite the less-than-stellar vintage, this is excellent, with dark berry aromas, earthy grit and complexities that rise to the occasion. It feels big, fresh and fruity, with racy black-cherry, chocolate and pepper flavors. Elegant, correct and complete; drink now–2016.

Finca Torremilanos 2004 Torre Albéniz Reserva Red (Ribera del Duero)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
Bring on the barrels (and a chisel to cut through the tannins). Or just put it away in your cellar for a decade and let the fierce tannins and intensely toasted oak characteristics fade away. Early attackers will get hit with a wall of bitter chocolate, shoe polish and hickory blackness while digging into layers of tannin surrounding dark fruit, graphite and…

Finca Torremilanos 2005 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
An attractive, ripe wine that pushes up against raisiny but then draws back to focus on blackberry, licorice and other dark aromas and flavors. Very good weight and mouthfeel, with nice balance supporting ripe berry, cola and mild chocolate flavors. Finishes lush and warm. Drink now through 2011.

Finca Torremilanos 2005 Torre Albéniz Reserva Red (Ribera del Duero)
- $50
A touch horsey at first, but with time it settles on saddle leather and earthy fruit. The palate is chunky and beefy, with some funk, chocolate and herbal black fruit. Not super spunky and lively, but dense as a brick and interesting. Drink now through 2014.

Finca Torremilanos 2008 Torremilanos Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $30
Lightly herbal on the nose, but otherwise it’s ripe and ready to go. The feel is slightly tannic and tight, but it’s as fresh and healthy as can be. Flavors of raspberry, red plum and mild spice are comported and correct. Finishes long, with vigor. Drink now through 2014.

Finca Torremilanos 2009 Los Cantos Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $23
This is jammy and reduced throughout, especially on the nose, which offers a dense blueberry aroma. Saturated and solid on the palate, it features ripe flavors of black plum, blackberry and caramel. A potent, fruity, modern type of Tempranillo that’s long on fruit and short on complexity.

Finca Torremilanos 2004 Crianza Red (Ribera del Duero)
- $30
Serious crianza here, but one that takes a lot of time to unwind. Early tobacco, chocolate and rooty mulled-fruit aromas lead to a palate of tight tannins, narrow blackberry flavors and finally vanilla and oak. A little raw but more than solid.

Finca Torremilanos 2009 Torremilanos Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $30
Roasted and bullish, this has a rustic, smoky bouquet of earthy plum and savory berry. It is both plump and racy on the palate, with thick berry flavors that are touched up by bacon, spice and cocoa. It has a youthful mouthfeel that may calm down in a year or two. Drink now–2015.
