Perez Pascuas El Pedrosal 2019

Wine & Spirits, 93 pts: "2019 Ribera del Duero El Pedrosal Crianza (Best Buy) Aside from feeling pure and tasting fresh and delicious, there’s a dimension to this wine in its weave of spices and notes of fresh cherries and cherry leaves.  The acidity and tannins pull back on all the fruit, creating a rich undertow.  This is young-vine tempranillo showing off its provenance without ambitions"

Brothers Benjamin, Manuel, and Adolfo Perez Pascuas established the winery in 1980, but their father Mauro actually planted grapes well before that. So, you have a well-established family business dedicated to top-quality wines from all estate grapes featuring older vines. At about 2600 feet above sea level, these vines benefit from a wide diurnal temperaturerange, which preserves the acidity and hence freshness of the wines.
