Tomás Postigo Crianza 2009 [Red]
Producer: Tomás Postigo
Region: DO Ribera del Duero

Tomás Postigo, former Pago de Carraovejas winemaker, reappeared last year with an excellent Rueda white wine. Now he's back with an excellent Ribera del Duero red, reminiscent of his earlier work. Still a little tight, but looks like a keeper.

Good dark cherry red color with a hint of purple on the edge. Dark berry fruit (blackberry/blueberry), peppery and a touch herbaceous on the nose. Full bodied, fruity and a touch tannic on the palate. Excellent, needs time.
