Venta del Puerto 2006 N° 12 Selección Especial Red (Valencia)

Online Exclusive

Price $35

For a Valencia D.O. wine, this is darn appealing. The nose is warm, rooty and smells of cola nut, fresh raisins and cassis, while the driving palate offers roasted black fruit flavors along with sweet tomato and herbs. Drying and tannic on the finish, but balanced. Neither cooked nor overweight. Drink now through 2011. — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Venta del Puerto 2006 N° 18 Vendimia Seleccionada Red (Valencia)

Online Exclusive

Price $45

Heavier and oakier than No. 12, and in our opinion not quite as balanced. The nose is rich, minty and raisiny, while the rock-solid palate has fierce tannic grip and flavors of black cherry, tomato and cola. Firm and composed on the finish, but a pounding heavyweight. Drink now thru 2012. — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Venta del Puerto 2005 N° 12 Selección Especial Red (Valencia)

Online Exclusive

Price $17

This unusual blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon is a bit strange, but it gets our attention for being unique. The nose is ripe and medicinal, with spearmint, carob, vanilla, berry and candy aromas. In the mouth, it’s big and creamy, with sweet, sticky black-fruit flavors and a spread of butter. Not a great wine, but good for the region of Valencia. — M.S. (6/1/2009)
