Natalie's Score: 92/100

From the Ribera Del Duero wine region, Legón Premium Crianza 2016 Tempranillo is so lush with ripe blackberry, cola, plum, dark cherry, dried wild herbs intense and plushy on the palate. Grapes are sourced from the estate’s oldest vines, some of them well over 100 years old. Beautifully-crafted and so good now, but could also easily cellar for 15-plus years. An excellent value Tempranillo under $30.

Food pairings: roast pork, meat-lover's pizza, beef bourguignons.
