RubiejoBarricaRiberadelDuero

Fans of Rioja may want to check out this robust red made with Tempranillo grapes (known locally as Tinto Fino) from the nearby Ribera del Duero. Rubiejo Barrica is a great introduction to the region, with just enough oak to add a warming, toasty complexity, but not so much as to overwhelm the primary fruit character.
