Castillo de Almansa 1994 Reserva Cencibel (Almansa)
- Best Buy
- $10
Cherries and an earthy undertone from the Monastrell (Mourvèdre) component come together in an easy-to-drink mature red that has an almost cherry-cough-syrup flavor. Medium weight and ready to drink tonight.

Vegaval Plata 1996 Crianza Cencibel (Valdepeñas)
- Best Buy
- $10
Full of soft cherry and dry-spice aromas, this is a bit narrowly constructed. Those consumers who favor spicy complexity over in-your-face fruit will find a lot to like.

Ruiz Villanueva 2003 maceracion carbonica Cencibel (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Violet in color, with full red-berry aromas. The grape is called Cencibel, and the wine is sweet, structured, a bit medicinal and quite pleasant overall. Not too tannic but structured enough to be balanced. A good mainstream red from a variety that's not common.

Vegaval Plata 1993 Gran Reserva Cencibel (Valdepeñas)
- $17
Smoky, meaty notes dominate the nose of this medium-bodied wine. Red berries plus some dark caramel notes stand out on the palate. Medium-bodied but not too complicated, it closes with a dry, toasty-oak finish and a slight acidic tang that softens at the very end. —D.M.

Gran Oristan 1992 Gran Reserva Cencibel (La Mancha)
- $13
Vanilla and menthol aromas testify to the years spent in oak. Dark cherry fruit is a little thin in texture, and leathery, finishing with some dry oakiness.

Oristan 1995 Reserva Cencibel (La Mancha)
- $10
Cinnamon and spice aromas are masked by some sulfurous odors. The flavors aren’t particularly defined, but what’s there is a bit green: bell peppers and underripe cherries. Lean and green would be the quick take; some woody notes bring it home.
