Storks' Tower 2009 Tríptico Tempranillo-Shiraz (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- $30
Opaque purple to the eye, which portends the wine’s dark, meaty, jammy aromas of black fruit and leather. The palate is chewy and syrupy in feel, with massive but basic blackberry, toast and peppery flavors. Big and hot on the finish, with size but suspect balance. 67% Tempranillo and 33% Shiraz.

Storks' Tower 2006 Tríptico Tempranillo-Shiraz (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Dusty, lightly oaked berry aromas are entirely regular, while the berry driven palate is dry, drawing and oaky, with pretty good body but stand-out acidity as well. Tastes a bit woody and peppery late. A highly generic wine that makes you wonder why it costs $30.

Storks' Tower 2008 Cuesta Del Aire Sauvignon Blanc-Verdejo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Dry and not all that fruity up front, with a blast of oak. The palate shows weight and bold acidity, which pumps up the lemon, apple and pineapple flavors. A bit sour, scouring and sharp, but also cleansing and fresh. Blunt white wine.

Storks' Tower 2008 Tríptico Verdejo-Sauvignon Blanc (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A barrel-heavy blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo? That’s what this is, so expect popcorn and bland white fruit along with plenty of acidity. On one hand, it’s an angular, sour wine that makes you wonder; on the other hand, it blends toast, butter, baked apple and lemon into a nutty whole that’s not bad. Has both merits and faults.

Storks' Tower 2008 Sauvignon Blanc-Verdejo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
A bit jumbled early on, and then more open and minerally. The palate is chunky but hollow, with melon and green fruit flavors. Finishes with a touch of citrus and a soft, quick fade. Bland but easy to drink.

Storks' Tower 2009 Tempranillo-Shiraz (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Bright purple bug juice, with more than enough jumpy fruit and medicinality. Young and gummy in the mouth, with electric blackberry and boysenberry flavors along with sheer acidity and excess weight. 85% Tempranillo with Shiraz.
