Blasón de San Juan 2000 Crianza Tinto del Pais (Ribera del Duero)
- $19
Plump and fruity, with aromatics of tobacco, leather and dark fruits. Features sweet, sturdy black cherry and plum flavors before a finish of warm earth, plum and vanilla. Very straightforward in its approach, but solid on all accounts.

Blasón de San Juan 2000 Roble Tinto del Pais (Ribera del Duero)
- $13
Shows hickory-style wood aromas along with jerky, briar patch and cherry. Fairly fresh and forward, with a tangy palate dealing standard berry-cherry fare. Tight on the finish, with chocolate, pepper and coffee notes. A cut above the mass-market products; quite acceptable for the price

Blasón de San Juan 1999 Reserva Tinto del Pais (Ribera del Duero)
- $27
If it seems dirty at first, time will reveal tobacco and leather aromas along with black plum and coffee. Seems more sour than you might expect, with pie cherry and rhubarb flavors. Really high-toned on the finish, where it teeters on the brink of sour. Not bad but not endearing.

Blasón de San Juan 2000 Joven Tinto del Pais (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
The color is rosy, as if it’s starting to fall apart. The nose stays tight courtesy of gaseous sulfur notes. Eventually some tobacco and smoke emerge. Tangy in the mouth, with thin, average red fruit.
