Beronia 2005 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Aromas of leather, smoked meats, charred oak and lacquer are not for the weak, while the mouthfeel is firm, deep and just right. Juicy and bright in terms of flavors, with black cherry, vanilla and coconut. Toasty and alert on the finish, but with smacking tannins. Drinkable now and good for another four or five years.

Beronia 2006 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $20
Classic and about as good as you get for a larger-production type of Rioja reserva. Butter, dill, coconut, earth and moss aromas are convincing, as is the palate of berry, fig and spice flavors. Rooty, toasty and complex, with style. Drink now through 2015.

Beronia 2001 Gran Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $25
Tobacco, licorice, raisin, dried cherry and a puff of smoke give this healthy gran reserva an inviting, traditional bouquet. The palate is lively yet smooth, with integrated acidity pushing mature flavors of berry, plum, caramel and chocolate. A classic Rioja that is ready to drink.

Beronia 2004 Gran Reserva Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $28
Elegant and classically built on the nose, with lemony oak, coconut, cola and dried cherry aromas. Feels a bit high in acidity, with raspberry, dry spice and tobacco flavors. Juicy and long on the finish, and with this type of acidity it’ll last another decade, no sweat. Drink now through 2020.

Beronia 2006 Crianza Red (Rioja)
- $14
A little richer and slightly more oaked than Beronia's basic '06 Rioja, this crianza has a nice red-fruit character, body weight and plump, friendly flavors of raspberry and red plum. With smooth tannins and vanilla on the finish, it comes across as a classic-style everyday Rioja. Drink now through 2010.

Beronia 2004 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $19
A touch earthy and mulchy, but airing reveals true Rioja aromas of dried berry fruits, vanilla and dill weed. The palate runs fast and true, with piercing acidity pushing red fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry. Spicy and a little woody on the finish, with herbs and a final dash of dill.

Beronia 2008 Elaboración Especial Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $18
Baked and earthy on the opening, with meaty, spiced aromas that settle on roasted and heavy. Feels mostly healthy, with vanilla and dill flavors leading the way for roasted berry and oak spice. Finishes juicy but drawn down.

Beronia 2004 III a.C. Red (Rioja)
- $75
Thick and chocolaty, with prune and black cherry aromas giving it a bon-bon bouquet. The palate is creamy in feel but modest in structure. Blueberry flavors are sweet and syrupy, but the layering and complexity could use some work. Good Rioja but not for $75.
