Sacred Drop Ribera Del Duero Vintage Chart
Sometimes staring at a bunch of wines can be overwhelming. One, almost, surefire way to find a decent wine is to go by the “vintage” or year the wine was made. I compiled a few things together here from the Wine Spectator and also from the Region’s regulatory body in order to create a reliable “Vintage Chart” that will help you find a wine you are likely to enjoy.
