If you’re seeking a bold red wine that’s rich and layered and ready to drink now, and you don’t have the inclination to pay more than $30 a bottle, this beauty from Spain might be just right for your wallet as well as your palate. Ripe red-fruit aromas are wrapped in supple tannins, giving this vintage of Celeste a soft palate that many will find appealing in such a young red wine. The flavors show intensity and persistence. For the price one of the most charming red wines you are likely to find. This wine is 100 percent Tempranillo.
Torres, Ribera del Duero (Spain) 2010
