Ochoa 2010 Vino Dulce Moscatel (Navarra)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
This smells like orange marmalade. It feels smooth and creamy, but not terribly thick due to fine acidity, with flavors of orange, honey, peach and spice. Long and creamy on the finish, this is a fresh, delicious wine that should impress anyone with a sweet tooth.

Ochoa 2004 Single Vineyard Reserva Tempranillo (Navarra)
- $32
Hard, crusty leather is the opening aroma, then a touch of tar gives way to notes of tobacco, latent oak and perfumed, mature fruit. It feels full, grabby and on the cusp of being syrupy, with roasted berry and spice flavors. It shows an herbal, hot side on the finish.

Ochoa 2009 Graciano-Garnacha Red (Navarra)
- $17
This blend comes across granulated and reduced on the nose, with compact aromas of berry fruits and plum. It’s round, easygoing and dense on the palate, with mild flavors of baked berries. It loses steam on the finish but retains a mellow likability. Drink now–2014.

Ochoa 2007 Moscatel (Navarra)
- $25
Begins with nice lychee, melon and honey aromas, and with good acidity the apple and papaya flavors come across only mildly syrupy. Nice body and roundness, but with cut and definition. Nothing special or outlying; just good fruit and true Moscatel flavors.

Ochoa 2009 Tempranillo-Garnacha (Navarra)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Dark, dense and nice on the nose, with aromas of dried cheese, blackberry and plum. Fresh, juicy and healthy in the mouth, with blackberry and plum flavors that run long and clean. Freshness and juicy clarity are this wine’s chief attributes.

Ochoa 2003 Single Vineyard Reserva Red (Navarra)
- $32
Leafy and dry smelling, with exotic lavender and cumin aromas to go with brushy dried berry, pine and smoked meat. Feels good and healthy despite being eight years old, with tobacco, leafy red fruit and earthy, dry flavors. A little stalky, roasted and herbal but very nice. 60% Tempranillo, 25% Cabernet and 15% Merlot.

Ochoa 2003 Rosado Rosé (Navarra)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Based on Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a full-bodied, meal-friendly rosé with raspberry and watermelon aromas and a hint of nuttiness. Shows power, with a meaty edge. Snap, grit and grip make this a significant wine.

Ochoa 2003 Viura Chardonnay White (Navarra)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Expressive, with a fresh, flowery, Moscato-like nose. Bursts with apple and grapefruit, and then a wave of pineapple. It has spine, zest and style. A good everyday white that’s balanced.
