Pinea, Ribera del Duero (Castilla y León, Spain) 2020

Aug 24, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 The 2020 "17 by Pinea" is a 100% Tempranillo that oozes with aromatics of ripe blackberries, blueberries, spiced plums, crushed violet, anise, and hints of dried citrus rind.  While it’s impressive immediately out of the bottle, I would suggest a decanting to allow all of the aromatics to reveal themselves fully.  The palate is rich and complex with great structure, but it is not a heavy wine, as pleasant acidity provides lift and freshness.  Persistent tannin frames the dark fruit on the palate, culminating in a lingering and fragrant finish.  It is delicious and deeply satisfying – don’t miss out!
