Peña Roble 2004 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $41
This is a drink-or-hold wine, with grip, snap, barging tannins and all sorts of character. Licorice and black cherry aromas set up strong berry and chocolate flavors. There’s a mild, herbal twinge and a grilled element to the wine as well. Drink now–2020.

Peña Roble 2006 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $26
This smells stalky and leafy, with a baked element. It shows tomato-driven acidity and red-leaning flavors of cranberry, tomato and raspberry that are touched up by notes of oak-based vanilla and dill. Tomato and tobacco flavors are key to the finish.

Peña Roble 2011 Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
This wine is quite fruity on the nose. Next, it’s dense and solid in the mouth, however the flavors turn quickly towards syrupy berry and stewed black fruits. A raisin-like flavor pops up on the finish to accompany chewy tannins and a pasty feeling residue.

Peña Roble 2008 Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Full, roasted and earthy on the nose, with only some coconut and berry aromas to sweeten things up. Tight, level and structured in the mouth, with roasted raspberry and plum along with oaky, buttery, smoky accents that confirm the wine’s “roble” designation. Good but with some excess oak to process.

Peña Roble 2006 Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Fairly obvious vanilla and dill aromas work with red-fruit and resin scents to give this a “roble” sort of nose, meaning the oak is definitely there. (Roble is the word for oak in Spanish.) In the mouth, cherry, plum and pasty lactic flavors integrate the more you swirl, while the finish is toasty and dark, with another wave of oak.

Peña Roble 2004 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $28
A heavy, briary wine that opens with a full blast of earthy compost and burnt leaves. The palate features pointed berry fruit along with a wall of oaky coconut and vanilla. Creamy on the finish, at least in terms of flavor, with lasting vanilla.

Peña Roble 2009 Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
The nose is leathery and mulchy, with earthy berry aromas. It feels raw and choppy, with stalky, leathery, burnt flavors, plus pinches of green and mint. Ultimately it doesn’t have much berry power or clarity.
