A delightful Spanish wine made up mostly of a clone of Tempranillo called Tinto Fino or "Fine Red". This wine is also considered one of Spain's finest (see Dominio de Pingus). Pesquera is owned by Alejandro Fernandez who goal is to make "masculine" wines. This is a good description. Meaty, bold but not overpowering like a Zinfandel. I'm sure the age of this vintage - 2009 - has helped its quality.
