Altitude defines Ribera del Duero: fierce daytime sun, sharply cold nights, and thick-skinned fruit as a result. That diurnal swing produces reds with deeper color, firmer structure and darker fruit than Rioja's. This is the 2018 from Tinto Pesquera Millenium. Give it an hour of air. The regional pairing is roast lamb, and it is hard to improve on.
