From a site the borders Vega Sicilia (I think that’s a good neighbor to have), the 2015 Finca Villacreces is a blockbuster blend of 86% Tempranillo and the balance equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged 14 months in new French oak, it boasts a deep, saturated purple color as well as pedal-to-the-metal notes of blackcurrants, white chocolate, raspberries, and lead pencil. With full-bodied richness, a ripe, sexy texture, and building tannin, it has plenty of fruit yet still has a terrific sense of purity and elegance. It’s a beautiful wine that I suspect will keep for a decade or more.

This big red delivers currant and blackberry flavors, with licorice, tar, loamy earth and mineral notes that add depth and balance. Juicy acidity balances the assertive but well-integrated tannins. Drink now through 2035. 6,100 cases made, 700 cases imported. — TM

The eponymous red 2015 Finca Villacreces is a dark, ripe and concentrated blend of Tempranillo with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot produced in a slightly international style with plenty of oak flavors and aromas. It's a rich, full-bodied red with plenty of tannins in need of some more time in bottle and powerful food. 73,324 bottles produced.- LG
