Altozano 2009 Tempranillo-Shiraz (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- $10
Blocky raspberry and plum aromas lead to a stocky palate with plum, berry and mild oak flavors. Shows good spine and acidity, which leads to a fresh, upright and alert finish.

Altozano 2008 Rosado Shiraz-Tempranillo (Tierra del Viños de Zamora)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Slightly sulfuric and heavy at first, but there’s cleaner melon and red apple qualities below the surface. A bit chunky in the mouth, with briney strawberry and herbal flavors. Decent wine; nothing bad or special about it.

Altozano 2009 Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- $10
Starts out with roasted, rubbery aromas that blow off fairly quickly. The palate is average and as expected, with herbal berry flavors and a savory, soupy accent. Finishes minty and earthy, but solid in feel.

Altozano 2006 Tempranillo-Shiraz (Tierra de Castilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Rooty and slightly green smelling, with rhubarb and cherry skin aromas. Despite a limited bouquet, the palate has weight and creaminess along with sweet berry fruit flavors. Molasses, brown sugar and blackberry finishing notes confirm the wine’s heavy makeup.

Altozano 2006 Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Warm out of the chute, with raisin and herb aromas. The palate is soft and wide, with chewy berry flavors and a spice-herb accent to the flavor profile. A little baked on the finish; jammy overall.

Altozano 2009 Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- $10
A tad bit sharp on the nose, with a suggestion of vinegar. Crisp and high in acidity in the mouth, with snappy flavors of herbs, raspberry and tart red plum. Shows heat and burn on the finish. Decent but highly regular.

Altozano 2008 Sauvignon Blanc-Verdejo (Tierra de Castilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Soft, sweet and for the most part spineless, with baked apple aromas and fleshy nectarine and green melon flavors. As if missed, honey and banana enter the picture, adding even more chubby flavors and feel.
— M.S.

Altozano 2006 Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon (Tierra de Castilla)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Rusty colored and flat on the nose. Aromas of medicinal fruit and horse hide are less than stellar, and the soupy palate of weak raspberry and faux sweetness doesn’t do much to improve things. Needs more vitality and overall quality.
— M.S.
