Huge score here, especially for Spanish wine fans who will instantly jump at a bottle like this.
A Crianza Ribera del Duero with 5 years of age for only $12.99. That's hard to beat and the wine delivered just as we hoped.
A whopping 94 points from Wine Enthusiast. I know the placard says 93, but pretty sure it's 94 points. And the bottle label confirms it as well.
If you hit that link you'll also notice the retail price of $35, which is hard to believe since Costco is selling this bottle for a fraction of that price.
We're coming off a week visiting Spain, enjoying the amazing food and wine the country offers, so we are really excited right now (and most times) about Spanish wine, and this one delivers in every way.
Aromatic nose; great mouthfeel, medium plus in body; packed with flavor of black cherry, red and dark fruit, surrounded by herbs and earthy notes; excellent finish.
About as good as you'll find for $13. We should have bought a case. An easy 91 points for us.
