Volteo 2006 Tempranillo + Shiraz Red (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Best Buy
- $8
The under-$10 high scorer is fast disappearing, so take a good look at this young, jammy Tempranillo-Shiraz blend that hits nicely with ripe boysenberry and black plum. The Shiraz seems to have darkened the wine, and the mouthfeel is ripe and lush.

Volteo 2006 Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Best Buy
- $8
Castilla y León can be good bargain country, and all of the 2006 Volteo wines are Best Buy qualifiers. This varietal Tempranillo has a clean, fruity nose backed by bright berry flavors built on a floor or two of structure. It’s a composed quaffer with pure flavors, adequate length and overall balance.

This is clean, fruity and appealing, with no aromas or flavors of heavy oak or weedy, roasted fruit. It offers cherry and berry flavors, with a healthy, quick finish that ends on a vanilla and mild spice note.

Volteo 2011 Verdejo-Sauvignon Blanc (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Clean, minerally and smells of tarragon, fresh bell pepper and lemony citrus. Feels lively, with pink grapefruit, passion fruit, lime and generic sweetness for flavors. A lip-smacking wine that’s varietally accurate. 60% Verdejo and 40% SB.

Volteo 2006 Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Best Buy
- $8
Solid as can be, with sweet-styled aromas of berry syrup and tire rubber. In the mouth, the wine shows juicy cherry and raspberry flavors in front of a lively finish. Throughout it shows good form and a bit more roughness than the Volteo varietal Tempranillo or the line’s Tempranillo-Shiraz blend.

Volteo 2009 Garnacha Rosé (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Punchbowl sweetness is the aromatic greeting, and overall the nose is clean and bright. It’s tangy and fresh in the mouth, with dry, crisp red plum and cherry flavors. Properly acidic throughout, and more than competent as a whole.

Volteo 2009 White (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Peachy up front, with a pithy, dry, diluteness to the nose. The palate is wet but a little bland and innocuous, with nectarine, generic citrus and pith flavors. For a blend of Viura, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, it works well enough.

Volteo 2010 Verdejo-Viognier-Sauvignon Blanc White (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Perfumed, chunky and almondy on the nose. Feels full and oily but also a bit juicy, with driving, penetrating orange and grapefruit flavors. Offers proper weight and spicy citrus flavors on the finish. Drink immediately as it’s losing freshness and turning yellow.
