Hemar 2005 Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $30
A forward specimen with lots of oak that settles on cinnamon and wood tannin. Also a touch leafy on the nose, and that’s backed by tangy cranberry and acid-driven cherry flavors. Very tight and piercing, which for a 2005 crianza is asking too much.

Hemar 2006 Joven Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $16
Condensed up front, with aromas of berry compote and molasses. So why is this so tangy and tart in the mouth? Maybe the grapes weren’t as ripe as they seem from the nose, and in the end it fails the all-important balance/wholesomeness test.

Hemar 2006 Roble Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
An herbal and brambly roughneck with forced aromas, lots of leather, and ultimately cranberry and other tart red-fruit flavors. Not much body, and thus it’s short and piquant.
