Finca Nueva 2009 Fermentado en Barrica Blanco White (Rioja)
- $15
Waxy white fruit aromas of peach and apple are a touch baked, with vanilla peeking through. The palate is smooth and offers good mouthfeel, while the flavors of lemon, apple and hay are good and finish buttery and creamy. Made by Finca Allende; 70% Viura and 30% Malvasia.

Finca Nueva 2008 Viura (Rioja)
- $15
From Miguel Angel de Gregorio of Finca Allende, this is a nice, thorough, creamy white with aromas of white fruits, vanilla and straw. The palate has spiced peach, apple and pear flavors, and the finish is exceedingly creamy and deep. Shows elegance and adequate power, but needs to be drunk soon.

Finca Nueva 2007 Crianza Tempranillo (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A riper styly for crianza, with sweet aromas of raisin, spice and mint. Fairly round and full feeling, with toasty plum and black cherry flavors that transition into mocha and cocoa on the finish. Fresh for being as dark and ripe as it is.

Finca Nueva 2006 Crianza Tempranillo (Rioja)
- $15
Grapey and potent as Rioja crianzas go, with a medium-to-full-sized palate that’s full of bright acidity and standard but solid berry fruit flavors. It’s the slightest bit creamy and thick on the finish, but overall it’s about as middle of the road as any wine on the market.

Finca Nueva 2010 Fermentado en Barrica Viura (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This may appeal more to some than others because barrel-fermented Viura is a tough row. Smells a lot like creamed corn or wheat, with apple cider on the side. It’s barely acidic enough, thus it’s soft in feel and tastes of butterscotch, melon and flabby apple. Seemingly less interesting than in the past.
