Great 90+ scores for Vina Pedrosa in Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Vina Pedrosa has been awarded 90+ scores for the new releases of its wines by Josh Raynolds from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar.

2010 Vina Pedrosa Crianza Ribera Del Duero: “Saturated ruby. Ripe cherry, cigar box and rose oil on the oak-spiced nose. Juicy and seamless, offering sweet cherry vanilla and floral pastille flavors and a hint of licorice. Picks up a smoky note with air and finishes with excellent clarity and smooth, slow-building tannins. This 2010 looks promising and bodes well for the bodega's top wines from this vintage, which will be released over the coming years. The 2009 version of this wine is drinking extremely well right now, by the way, with sexy black and blue fruit character, spicy oak tones and velvety tannins, but it still has years ahead of it.” 92 points

2009 Vina Pedrosa Reserva Ribera Del Duero: “Bright ruby. Complex aromas of dried cherry, licorice, pipe tobacco and cola, plus a subtle smoky nuance. Sappy and velvety in the mouth, offering intense dark fruit preserve flavors that gain power and spiciness with aeration. Shows sexy floral pastille and spiced cake notes on the back end, finishing with very good breadth and a hint of vanilla”. 93 points

2009 Vina Pedrosa La Navilla Ribera Del Duero: Saturated ruby. Intense mineral and floral-accented redcurrant and cherry aromas open up with air and pick up sexy incense and vanilla qualities. Sweet, penetrating and pure, offering vibrant bitter cherry and currant flavors and notes of licorice, spicecake and mocha. The mineral quality comes back strong on the finish, which features chewy tannins and a whiplash of spice and floral qualities. 93 points
