Artadi's 2007 Vinas de Gain is 100% Tempranillo sourced from 40- to 60-year-old vines and aged in 40% new French oak for 12-14 months. A saturated purple color it delivers an expressive bouquet of wood smoke pencil lead mineral blueberry and blackberry. Layered and full-flavored on the palate it is nicely balanced with the structure to evolve for 4-6 years. Drink it from 2014 to 2027. It is one of the better values in quality Rioja. -Jay Miller
