Federico Fernandez is the brother of Alejandro Fernandez, the guy who founded Pesquera and Condado de Haza, two estates that put Ribera del Duero on the map. 100% Tempranillo aged for 8 months in American oak, this is a stellar bottle of wine, and it's about as traditional as Spanish red wine gets. This offers up hearty notes of ripe cherry, mulberry, blackberry, vanilla, and baking spices.
