Natalie's Score: 91/100

From Bodegas Torres, Altos Ibericos Crianza 2016 is excellent value under $16. From the Rioja wine region, this is a full-bodied 100% Tempranillo matured for 12 months in oak barrels followed by a lengthy bottle aging prior to being released from the winery. Look for ripe red plum, red berry, savoury herbs and toasty oak spice on this vibrant red with fine, pleasantly grippy tannins. Drink or hold.

Food pairings: grilled, smoked meats, slow-braised brisket.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
