Heredad Ugarte 2008 Martin Cendoya Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
The opening is nice and chunky, with jammy blackberry aromas. The palate on this Tempranillo-led Rioja is full-bodied, with grip and flavors of herbal berry, tea, smoked meat and lemony oak. There’s a hint of green to the medium-length finish, which is firm in feel and oaky in flavor.

Heredad Ugarte 2004 Dominio de Ugarte Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $23
Big and earthy at first, with hints of sulfur, leather and ripe berry fruit. The palate is equally ripe and meaty, with warm blackberry and spice flavors. It may be a little plump and oily for some traditionalists, with nondistinct flavors and mouthfeel. But overall it’s nice and mature. Drink now.

Heredad Ugarte 2006 Heredad Cosecha Red (Rioja)
- Best Buy
- $11
Dark in color, with mineral, leather and balsamic notes. With 20% Garnacha, this wine spent six months in oak and it comes on like a saturated, beefy youngster with ripe, healthy plum and other black-fruit flavors. Lasting on the finish, with body and structure. The fact that it doesn’t overreach is a virtue.

Heredad Ugarte 2004 Martin Cendoya Reserva Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
This wine is clearly shooting for the modern style of Rioja; it’s dark as night, soft and meaty. But it also has a lot of gaseous sulfur on the nose and hard tannins. Expect a chewy, broad Rioja that’s hedonistic but on the cusp of overripe. Decant before drinking within the next two years.
