I tasted Vecordia 2009- Ribera del DueroRoble  from Spain tonight.  When visiting Total Wine, this was rated high by one of the magazines according to the shelf and I thought I would try it.

I totally loved the wine.  It is bold and dry, it doesn't have much fruit and is made mostly from the Temparanillo Grape.  It is a quality wine at a great price.  Total wine is selling it for $12.99, but I did see it a little less online on several websites.

I think this wine would go great with appetizers that have some spice, like a spicy mustard, or great with some spicy thai food - YUM!

This ripe red opens with notes of spice and currant on the nose, leading to bright red fruit notes on the palate supported by a touch of oak. Subtle tannins give weight to this wine without overpowering it. A silky finish rounds off with light hints of vanilla.

The wine has a really dark ruby red color.  The smell has a nice bouquet and long dry finish. This has a much smoother texture but similar robust flavor of a Rioja.  Please try it  and love it.
