Bodegas Abel de Mendoza 1999 Jarrarte Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $26
Pretty berry and chocolate aromas lead you to a palate that’s round and pure. Right away this wine impresses; it’s got all the requisite fruit as well as some peppery kick. The finish is massive, with a bitter espresso edge. Wholly modern in style, with a chewy, delicious feel/flavor combination.

Bodegas Abel de Mendoza 2004 Seleccion Personal Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $49
Blackberry and cola are the prime aromas that comprise the alluring bouquet. And as you’d expect, there’s also leather and spicy wood thrown in. In the mouth, it’s an intense ride of rich black cherry and plum. For now it’s a little closed on the finish; will likely be better in three years.

Bodegas Abel de Mendoza 2003 Jarrarte Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $29
Bouquet is nice and smooth, with an earthy warmth surrounding scents of purple flowers and crushed berries. The palate is lively and acidic, with semisweet red-fruit flavors that are more generic. No reticence here; the wine is racy to the end as it finishes with oak and vanilla.
