Viñas del Cenit is a Spanish red wine from the Tierra del Viños de Zamora appellation in Northern Spain, produced from the Tempranillo grape. Sold at Costco in a case of six 750ML bottles, this wine comes from a producer whose vineyards sit along the Duero River at high altitude in Castilla y León, a region known for its continental climate and dramatic diurnal temperature swings that concentrate flavor and preserve acidity.

The Via Cenit Tempranillo opens with aromas of black cherry, lavender, and chocolate, leading to flavors of blackberry, purple fig, dark chocolate, five-spice powder, and a hint of black-olive paste. Enduring tannins are well-balanced by notes of spice and a long, lively finish. The 2018 vintage received a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, making this an excellent-value Spanish red. It pairs well with grilled meats, roasted lamb, aged cheeses, and hearty stews.
