Viña Vilano 2006 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $30
Floral and sweet on the front side of the nose and more dark, grilled and coffee-like on the back end. The palate is more juicy and snappy than some, with no shortage of acidity. Tastes of live-wire cherry and plum, with a long, driving finish. Needs time to settle; drink in late 2010.

Viña Vilano 2009 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $20
Blackberry aromas blend with open-grained oak to create a slightly charred bouquet. A bit acidic and edgy in feel, with a mix of herb, plum and berry flavors. Tight, juicy and a touch short on the finish, with dry, peppery spice notes. Drink now through 2014.

Viña Vilano 2005 Terra Incognita Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $70
Inviting aromas of tobacco, earth, cedar and bacon give weight to racy berry scents. It’s stripped and tight as a drum on the palate, with fiery acidity creating tangy raspberry and plum flavors accented by notes of tobacco, wood spice and citrus. This is best enjoyed with food; on its own it’s a bit sharp.

Viña Vilano 2005 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
Damp earth, subtle berry, plum and smoke notes define the nose. It feels typically tannic and clampy for Ribera del Duero, with leathery, roasted flavors of blackberry, rubber and herbs. Long, meaty and dense on the back side, with chewy tannins and sweet lasting flavors.

Viña Vilano 2004 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $40
Comes across a bit baked, syrupy and sweet on the nose, with a hint of stalkiness and stem. The palate has a lush early feel, but further inspection unveils a hollow core. Flavors veer toward earthy raspberry, while the finish is chunky and properly reflects what came before it.

Friendly aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, pastry and vanilla are clean and welcoming. This is pure, racy and fresh in style, with a bright plum flavor. An honest wine with quality fruit and balance.

Viña Vilano 2008 Rosado Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
An improvement from recent years, but that may be a reflection of when we’re tasting the wine. At this point in time it’s showing dusty plum and raspberry aromas and good body weight. The flavors of raspberry and cherry are solid, while the finish is cleansing. Beyond palatable; it’s really a nice rosé from Tempranillo.

- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Grapey and citrusy on the nose, this has an herbal twinge. It feels bouncy and simple, with juicy boysenberry and blueberry flavors that set up a grapey, standard-feeling finish. Fresh, juicy and best for simple sipping.
