Top Spanish Red Wines - 2016

I tend to taste and drink a lot of wine over the course of a year. I am in a few tasting groups, sometimes the wines are consumed at various local wine store tastings and a number drunk with friends and family.

2024 Bodegas Beronia Verdejo Rueda, Spain, Wine RevieT

Vintage: 
2024
Score: 
90
Grade: 
A-
Current Price: 
$16.00USD

This is a 100% Verdejo wine from Spain.  Light straw colored, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with limes, wild Thyme and slight peach.  Medium bodied.  Crisp acidity.  On the palate, this is tasty with the peach and limes coming thru and also slight minerality.  A slight lime pith/bitter note on the finish.  This  is nice on its own but better with food.  It will work well with lighter meals and should work well with Ceviche.  Drink over the next year or two.  Great value.

2016 Cuna de Reyes Rioja, Spain, Wine Review

Vintage: 
2016
Score: 
89
Grade: 
B+

This is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha from Rioja, Spain.  Garnet in color, purple at the core, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is nice with cherries and dill.  Soft texture.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this seems fully mature at age 10.  Flavors of ripe cherries with slight sour cherry notes also.  Long finish.  This is an inexpensive red wine that delivers well for the money.  A great choice for a midweek dinner of Meat Loaf or Rotisserie Chicken.  Drink over the next couple of years.
