94 Points, The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker, Jr.- (upon reviewing several of their wines) "This is an impressive lineup from Garcia Figuero. Each of the wines is 100% Tempranillo from estate vineyards but differ in terms of oak treatment and vineyard selection. The grand finale is the 2003 Figuero Noble. The grapes for this superb effort are from estate vineyards over 70 years of age. The wine was aged in new barrels for 21 months, the first 15 in American oak, and the last 6 months in French Allier and Troncais oak. The wine is purple in color with a nose of toasty oak and candied black fruits with a touch of minerality. On the palate, it is layered and rich with chocolate added to the mix of still primary sweet blue and black berries. The ripe tannins are well covered but the structure is there for another 6-8 years of evolution."
The 2003 Figuero Noble is a deep red, with brick red edges. A candied nose reminiscent of fruit preserves, with mineral notes giving rise to a complex wine that gradually reveals novel English chocolate nuances and milky notes. The palate mirrors the aromas- a harmonious blending of fruits and wood. As its name suggests, the nobility of this wine is reflected from the very first sip to the long, lingering finish.

Chile Rellenos al Horno
Tip: use good quality thick-fleshed canned chiles. Make a slit down the side and spread them flat. Line the baking dish, then spoon the filling over instead of trying to stuff them. Bell peppers should be used only in desperation. The following recipe gives both the customary meat version and an optional cheese version. Pair with the 2012 Kenneth Volk Tempranillo.

Roasted Sweet Potato Chili
Warm and inviting, this sweet potato chili will have you going back for seconds! The bold flavors of the chili would pair wonderfully with Opolo's 2013 Tempranillo or 2013 Sangiovese.
