title: Costaval 2006 Joven  (Ribera del Duero)
description: This rings true as a young Ribera. It has a mild foxy/herbal hint to the black-fruit nose, while the palate is wall-to-wall plump, with flavors that don't just settle on boring. With some pepper and heft on the finish, this is good everyday stuff. Nice texture; a bit herbal.
variety: Tempranillo Blend
designation: Joven
