$15 to $30

Jan. 24, 2013 UNIÓN DE COSECHEROS DE LABASTIDA Rioja Castillo Labastida Reserva 2006 (90 points, $23)

Toasty and smoky aromas give way to flavors of black cherry, espresso and licorice in this focused red. Light, firm tannins and lively acidity give structure to the supple, polished texture. Not big, but expressive. Drink now through 2016. 16,600 cases made. —Thomas Matthews


$15 to $30

Leads off with honey, citronella and toast flavors, with an undercurrent of lemon and apple notes. Balanced, needing time for the refined structure to integrate. Subtle intensity and length build to a lingering aftertaste. Best from 2014 through 2022. 210 cases imported. —Bruce Sanderson
