Red Wines Spain/Portugal

BARZAGOSO CRIANZA $13.99 6569 Smoky and gamy notes mingle with black cherry and herbal flavors in this light, firm red. A bit rustic, but has personality.	BARZAGOSO RESERVA ~~$23.99~~ $17.99 Club Price 6568 "This Reserva Rioja is filled with jammy raspberry, black cherry, and hints of vanilla. This is a full bodied wine with nice black spice and mint flavours and a long finish. The tannis are big and well structured making this wine very well balanced and silky. Open up thirty minutes before serving."	CUETO RIOJA SELECCION 05 $14.99 6226 Oak aromas of espresso and chocolate dominate this firm red. Berry and plum fruit is ripe, even roasted. This has personality, but it's a bit one-dimensional.

GIL CLOS FONTA 2001 $82.99 5521 GIL CLOS FONTA 2001 750ml This chewy red delivers big flavors of cherry, cola, wild herb and leather.

MARQUES DE CACERES RIOJA $15.99 1134 MARQUES DE CACERES RIOJA 750ml This distinctive white offers lanolin, menthol and smoke notes that frame pear and almond flavors. The herbal complexity reminds me of Chartreuse. Powerful.
Marques De Riscal Rioja Reserva $19.99 2343 "RATING: 85. Good full red. Aromas of plum, currant, tobacco, leather and oak. Juicy and fresh but lean and lacking sweetness."	Vina Zaco Tempranillo $14.99 1579 "Black cherry and blackberry flavors are framed by smoky chocolate oak in this modern red, which is taut and focused, with firm tannins and bright acidity. Rated 90 points by winespectator.com!"
