Murky and dusty, with additional nutty, dirty aromas. Not much to say here; the wine is heavy and battles you all the way. The fruit is muddled and tart, and overall the wine is devoid of character.

No doubt that this is a solid, broad Ribera wine with plenty of positives. The nose has coconut and vanilla aromas to go with deep plum and berry notes, and the palate is ripe and developed, with black fruit and plush tannins. It smells like it should and makes a good impression. Drink now through 2011.

Hard and closed on the nose, but if you dig there’s saturated yet generic dark-fruit aromas and a touch of creamy, lactic oak. The palate offers thick berry flavors and tomato, while the finish is beefy and chewy, with no shortage of tannins. Colorful and bold, but short on polish and expressiveness.

Nice, simple and fruity, with nothing but standard raspberry fruit and good mouthfeel up its sleeve. The palate is narrow and juicy, while the flavor profile rests on one level: raspberry. Clean and quick on the finish. Perfectly respectable for a $10 Ribera wine.

A chunky, thick, earthy type of wine with syrupy, sweet berry flavors and a friendly palate that’s tannic but not too much so. Caramel and carob mix with coffee and cola on the finish, and overall it is good RDD if you don’t mind full extraction and syrupy richness.

Not bad on the nose, where strawberry and cream aromas are doused a bit by a burnt-field smell. In the mouth, it’s snappy and elastic, with tart flavors of apple, underripe nectarine and grapefruit. Finishes lean and crisp, without much personality. Imported by Testa Wines Of The World.

Dusty and floral on the nose, with tropical fruit aromas and a touch of nut oil. A blend of 60% Verdejo and 40% Viura that is wet, fresh and healthy. Tastes of fresh tropical fruits and finishes with good acidity and control. There’s even a slight spritz to the mouthfeel. Imported by Testa Wines Of The World. Best Buy.

For a Ribera rosé, this gets it mostly right. The nose is neutral and standard, while the spunky palate sports good acidity and flavors of strawberry and raspberry. Wet and refreshing on the finish, and good overall.
