A dark and medium-bodied red from Rioja, Spain.

“The unoaked 2009 Finca la Emperatriz Tempranillo, dark ruby-colored, it emits aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, violets, and black cherry. On the supple, medium-bodied palate, mineral and assorted black fruit flavors make an appearance leading to a fruit-filled, easy-going finish. Drink this tasty effort over the next 3 years. 86 points” erobertparker.com
