Valdepeñas is a DO that you don't hear a lot about, but there are some classic wines produced at very good prices.  This wine is very Riojan in style, Tempranillo aged in American oak for 24 months.  This has to be one of the best value wines from Spain. 

Plum red in the glass, with classic Rioja characters on the nose, tobacco, spice, undergrowth and dark berry fruit.  It has a mix of ripe fruit that is well supported buy oak and tannin, nicely balanced and nothing is out of place.  Smooth and refined, its perfect for drinking now with a good set chops, or just about good anything from the BBQ. 90 Pts
