Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2007 1894 White (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Having never tried this Viura-Malvasia blend before, we say it’s nicely done. The nose rings of baked apple and deftly applied oak, while the palate is fresh but also deep and textured. Flavors of apple and pear are accented by vanilla and toast, and overall it’s composed and shows character. Drink now through 2012. Only 250 cases made.

Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2004 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $25
Probably the best wine from this producer that we’ve rated. It’s meaty and rich, with mocha, crusty oak, aged cheese and kirsch aromas. The palate is juicy and balanced, with licorice, blackberry, blueberry and other dark, ripe flavors. Finishes lengthy and toasty, with some refinement. 1,500 cases made.

Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2001 Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $12
Heavy and sweaty at first, with a fat texture and forward fruit. It takes this wine a couple of minutes to show its black core and some spicy heat. Finishes with obvious flavors of oak and coffee.

Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2004 Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $13
Brawny plum and blackberry aromas feature notes of bacon, rubber and leather, all of which lead you to expect big, ripe flavors. But the news is, those flavors aren’t anywhere to be found. The profile is tangy and lean, with sharp berry notes. Quick and simple on the finish, with aggressive acidity and tannins.

Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2002 Viura (Rioja)
- $12
Sulfuric, with hints of wet dog and matchstick. The palate is adequate, with green bean and white pepper mixed in with some apple. Some spice and mint on the finish stirs interest in what’s otherwise a bland wine.

Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2001 Reserva Privada Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $25
Leather, berry and slight green aromas carry the nose toward a tart, domineering palate. Quite acidic at first glance, and then buttery on the finish. Imported by HAB North America.

Cosme Palacio y Hermanos 2003 Viura (Rioja)
- $12
Flat and gassy. Bland apple flavors carry the palate, followed by a short, low-acid finish. Imported by HAB North America.
