El Pensador 2009 Tempranillo (Campo de Borja)

  1. $13
Slightly darker than most basic Campo de Borja Tempranillos, with earthy aromas along with black fruit notes. The palate is full and rugged, with scratchiness but also fresh, forward flavors of black fruits including plum and boysenberry. A good wine with guts.  — M.S.  (7/1/2011)

El Pensador 2008 Tempranillo (Campo de Borja)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $17
Raisin, black plum and peppery aromas make for a good bouquet, and the palate is healthy and dark, with snappy black cherry and blackberry flavors floating on a current of zesty acidity. Full on the finish, but still there’s some acidic scour. Best with food.  — M.S.  (2/1/2011)

El Pensador 2010 Tempranillo (Campo de Borja)

  1. $13
Snappy cherry and berry aromas have the slightest accent of mint and grass. It feels fresh, forward and tight, with plum and spicy berry flavors. The finish remains fruity and firm.  — M.S.  (10/1/2012)

El Pensador 2009 Verdejo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $17
A solid rendition of Verdejo with apple and pear aromas along with basic minerality. The palate is standard and firm, with good acidity pushing apple and citrus flavors. Perfectly competent but not showing the nuances and higher qualities that would justify a $17 outlay.  — M.S.  (2/1/2011)

El Pensador 2011 Verdejo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
Fresh, crisp and minerally on the nose, this has green apple and melon aromas. It feels fresh, juicy, light and refreshing, with high-toned white-fruit flavors as well as notes of grapefruit, herb and lime. Clean on the finish.  — M.S.  (11/1/2012)
