Convento Oreja 2009 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $34
Full, lusty and slightly floral smelling, with notes of leather, crusty berry and hoisin sauce. Feels thick, with body and weight along with flavors of berry, cookie dough and floral hints. Long, meaty and slightly herbal on the finish, with just enough complexity to nudge it ahead. Drink now through 2015.

Convento Oreja 2006 Memoria Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $49
Soft and raisiny on the bouquet, with leather, earth, prune and baked qualities. Feels meaty and solid in the mouth, with drawing tannins along with herbal, moderately intense blackberry flavors. Darkens up on the finish, where cocoa, prune and coffee flavors are dominant. Drink now.

Convento Oreja 2008 Roble Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Smells like compost, and never does that earthy, stenchiness lift. The palate is thick and muddled, with wan, dry, buttery raspberry flavors that lack direction. Finishes dry and bland, without much structure.
