Score 90/100 · Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, May 2011

The 2008 Seleccion Especial is composed of 75% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot. Aromas of cinnamon, clove, pepper, lavender, and black cherry lead to a racy, smooth-textured, nicely balanced wine that can be approached now and over the next 6-8 years. It is a very good value. Abadia Retuerta is a quality producer located just outside the border of Ribera del Duero, hence the use of the generic Castilla y Leon DO. Importer: Kobrand, New York, NY; www.kobrandwine.com
