Emina 2006 Prestigio Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Just right on the nose, with a smoky, attractive set of deep berry aromas. The palate is pure and composed, with a pure, tasty mix of berry fruit, cocoa and mild oak. Smooth, long and creamy on the finish, and delicious overall. Best wine to date from Emina. Drink now into 2012.

Emina 2006 12 Meses Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $19
For a big-production wine (33,000 cases) with just 12 months of barrel aging, this is impressive. Sweet but balanced dark fruit and cola aromas are nice, while the palate is forward and tastes of blackberry and cola. Complex and slightly gritty and tannic on the finish, which indicates that it has the structure to age. Drink now through 2013.

Emina 2008 Selección Personal Verdejo (Rueda)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
An interesting, well-made wine with distinct barrel notes. There’s woodspice, toast, vanilla and elegant white fruit on the nose, yet the palate maintains Verdejo’s natural verve while offering flavors of cinnamon apple, spiced pear, banana and tropical fruit. Drier on the finish, with a nip of butterscotch.

Emina 2009 Tinto Fino Roble (Ribera del Duero)
- $15
Emina 2009 Tinto Fino Roble (Ribera del Duero). Purple and big, with black fruit aromas along with plenty of young oak, licorice, cola and bacon. The palate has a saturated, lush feel and bold flavors of blackberry and oak. On the finish it’s all coconut, butter and dill. Ribald and offering a lot.

Emina 2003 Prestigio Tinto del Pais (Ribera del Duero)
- $26
Plum, berry and other ripe fruits make for a solid, pure, attractive bouquet. The wine is fairly deep and plummy, with red raspberry raising the red-fruit quotient. Full and balanced, with modest complexity. Seems solid for a front-line ’03.

Emina 2009 Verdejo (Rueda)
- Best Buy
- $11
Crisp, clean and nice on the nose, with a hint of white pepper. The palate is round and not overly acidic, making it friendly and endowed with mass appeal. Flavors of green melon and citrus are smooth and not too demanding, while the finish is easy and clean. A welcome entry into the land of Rueda and its Verdejo.

Emina 2005 Atio Tinto Fino (Ribera del Duero)
- $50
Ultradark and sweet, with black coffee, shoe polish and blackened berry aromas that are highly oak influenced. The palate is saturated, clampy and aggressive, with blackened berry, lemony oak and mint flavors. Grabby and tannic in the mouth, but generous.

Emina 2003 Atio Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $55
Best on the nose, where there’s a mix of caramel, roasted fruit and lemon peel. The palate is big, sticky and tannic, with salty, semi herbal flavors of raspberry and leather. Spicy and basic on the finish. A plump, simple wine. Drink now.
