Cueto 2007 Tendencia Red (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $14
Down the middle and safe, with basic red-fruit aromas accented by leather and earth notes. A little rubbery in the mouth, with average raspberry and red plum flavors. Similar on the finish. Generic but good.  — M.S.  (12/15/2009)

Cueto 2008 Selección Tempranillo (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $17
Heavy, minty and smelling of shoe polish, barrel char and black licorice. The palate is chunky but overall it has pretty good structure. Meanwhile, the flavors of raspberry and plum carry a heavy oak influence. Spice and resin, additional reflections of the oak, dominate the finish.  — M.S.  (8/1/2010)

Cueto 2004 Tempranillo (Rioja)

  1. $10
Jammy and sweet on the nose, like a jar of strawberry preserves. The palate, however, is light and tart, with burnt berry flavors. Finishes peppery and short, with little to latch onto.  — M.S.  (12/15/2006)

Cueto 2009 Tempranillo (Rioja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $10
Sulfuric, stemmy and rubbery, with a flat mouthfeel and low acidity. Tastes soft, jammy and baked, with a chunky finish that flat-lines. Too little quality or character here.  — M.S.  (11/1/2010)
