    Tinto Pesquera 2007

    Bodegas Alejandro Fernndez Tinto Pesquera Pesquera de Duero D.O. Ribera del Duero
    THE WINERY
    Founded in 1972. A living icon of Spanish wine and widely regarded as the Master of the Tempranillo, Alejandro Fernndez achieves naturally concentrated, elegant wines which are expressive in youth yet benet greatly from age. Currently under vine in Pesquera are 500 acres, exclusively Tempranillo. Soil types include deep gravelrelatively rare in the area and essential to the singularly complex Pesquera bouquet.

    THE WINE
    From an exceptionally cool year, superb vineyard selection of the Tempranillo bunches has resulted in one of the most pure and elegant expressions in years. Bright raspberry fruit is underscored by the typically gravelly Pesquera minerality. A long nish includes integrated tannins for near-term enjoyment, well-balanced for many years of bottle evolution.

    IN THE PRESS
    Tinto Pesquera 2007 "The 2007 Crianza (the bottle I saw was labeled Tinto) is crimsoncolored with an enticing nose of leather, Asian spices, incense, violets, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, ripe, and concentrated on the palate, it has the structure and balance to evolve for several years and will offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2022. 91 points" Jay Miller, Wine Advocate, April 2010
