Villacezan 2003 Doce Meses Prieto Picudo (Vino Tierra de León)
- $15
A masculine, rubbery nose covered with oak and dark-fruit aromas is stage one. Next up comes a spicy, solid palate that has some tannin and complexity to go with dry berry flavors. Not uncommon or unusual. It’s got the goods, so to speak.

Villacezan 2010 Molendores Rosado Prieto Picudo Rosé (Tierra de León)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Almost red in color, with clean, fruity aromas that are sweet and generic but maintain a semblance of freshness. The palate is good if a touch flat, with red apple and red plum flavors. Holds its posture on the finish; drink this year.

Villacezan 2001 Doce Meses Red (Vino Tierra de León)
- $17
Muddled to start, with chocolate and earth aromas along with heavy, seemingly chewable berry fruit. Big on the palate, with slightly overripe plum backed by overt vanilla and brown sugar. A three-grape mix of Prieto Pecudo, Mencía and Tempranillo.

Villacezan 2003 Dehesa de Villacezan Red (Vino Tierra de León)
- $11
Sweet yet snappy, with youthful aromas of candied fruit. Slightly tangy on the tongue, with raspberry and plum flavors. Tastes clean, with a soft mouthfeel. Very standard, simple and easygoing.

Villacezan 2005 Elverite Verdejo (Vino Tierra de León)
- $11
Light and sweet to the nose, with aromas of honey, which isn’t normal for the usually zesty, citrusy Verdejo. Pear and apple are the dominant flavors on a palate that’s more smooth and lush than racy and snappy. Strange in how it’s almost creamy.

Villacezan 2010 Elverite Blanco Albarín (Tierra de León)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Citrusy on the nose, with tangerine and passion fruit aromas, with white grapefruit and less-defined citrus flavors. Grapefruit persists on the racy, tangy finish.

Villacezan 2004 VCZ Molendores Prieto Picudo (Vino Tierra de León)
- $15
Prieto Picudo is the grape, and the wine yields robust aromas of radish and red fruits. Very tangy, almost citrusy on the palate. Finishes quite lean and tart. A screechy wine without a lot of happiness.

Villacezan 2005 Molendores Rosado Prieto Picudo (Vino Tierra de León)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Candied and round, with tangy melon and citrus flavors. Does best early on before losing focus and finishing flat. There is okay feel and balance to it but little in the way of backing depth. Imported by VinLozano Imports.
