    Shop the Pinea 2018 at FameLounge—an exceptional Tempranillo Wine that embodies the essence of Ribera del Duero winemaking. Priced at $149.95 for a 750ml bottle with an alcohol content of 15.00%, this rich and intense red wine from the 2018 vintage is crafted by the renowned Pinea Winery under the expert guidance of winemaker Isaac Fernandez.

    This opaque wine is a classic representation of Spanish terroir, produced in a high-elevation vineyard with grapes sourced from 30-year-old vines, some over 90 years old, growing at an altitude of 3,000 ft on clay-loam terrain in Ribera del Duero, Spain. Pinea 2018 is crafted with utmost care and dedication, aged in new French oak barrels for 18-24 months, which enhances its depth and complexity. Built for aging, this wine will continue to evolve over the next 10-15 years, offering increasingly nuanced flavors.

    Pinea 2018 reveals a deep, intense ruby red hue with violet tones, opening with an intense aroma and a complex bouquet featuring dark fruits like blackberries, ripe black plum, and dried fig, accented by floral notes of hibiscus, violets, and lavender, with hints of spice, tobacco, and vanilla from the oak. On the palate, this full-bodied wine offers rich flavors of ripe black fruits, licorice, and earthy notes, supported by firm tannins and a long, elegant finish.

    Renowned critics have applauded Pinea 2018, with Wine Spectator awarding it an impressive 95 points. James Suckling also praises the wine with 94 points, highlighting its spiced plum and blackberry notes, along with sweet spices, dark chocolate, and wet earth.

    This premium wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, lamb, game, and rich stews. It also complements aged cheeses and charcuterie, making it a versatile addition to any gourmet meal. For the best experience, serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F) and decant for at least an hour to fully reveal its aromatic and flavor profile.

    Pinea 2018 represents the epitome of Ribera del Duero winemaking, combining traditional methods with modern techniques to produce a wine that is both expressive and refined. With its limited production, this wine is a sought-after choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Originating from the prestigious wine country of Spain, this vintage is a true reflection of the region’s winemaking heritage.

    Purchase your bottle today at FameLounge and savor the elegant, oak-infused flavors that make this wine a standout in Spain’s illustrious portfolio. Shop now and bring home the sophisticated essence of Pinea 2018.

    7 reviews for Pinea 2018

    1. Rolanda Kilmer

      Dark ruby wine with improved flavors after decanting for an hour. Prominent acidity and grip, accompanied by notes of black cherry.

    2. Michelle Banks

      Flickinger Customer Appreciation Tasting in Chicago: Young, rich black cherry with a complex spicebox. Needs time to age gracefully.

    3. Katherine Harris

      This wine offers flavors of berries, dry plums, earthy tannins, cherries, currants, and smoky notes.

    4. Julie Mcgee

      Intensely sweet with dark fruit notes and prominent oak. Thick and almost overwhelming. Needs more time, but not my preferred style.

    5. Vincent Mendez

      Needs aging. Wait minimum 5 years.

    6. Teresa Bell

      “Dads Cellar’s exclusive ‘Hogs Head’ delivers ripe cherry and red berries with hints of dried herbs. A dark cherry and menthol palate, with a weighty, waxy feel. Precisely crafted for a full-bodied, international style. Pleasurable earthy finish. Perfect for steak lovers.”

    7. Michael Smock

      Better balance than the 2017 vintage. Var “svesket” (plummy).

    Wine Spectator
    This full-bodied red is rich and concentrated, yet fresh and elegant overall. Offers plush texture wrapped around a firm frame of sculpted tannins, carrying violet-laced notes of ripe black plum, dried fig, eucalyptus and spices. Hints of coffee and smoke enrich the lasting finish. Drink now through 2033. 835 cases made, 420 cases imported.
    JS 94
    James Suckling
    Notes of spiced plums and blackberries with sweet spices, dark chocolate and wet earth on offer. Medium-to full-bodied with a polished texture, fine-grained tannins and vivid acidity that adds juicy, crunchy character. Delicious dark fruit on the palate, with hints of spices to close. 100% tempranillo. Drink or hold.
