Spanish Red Wines not associated with a listed region

Spanish Wines, (Red wines) affordable, mysterious, having a place to their type and taste (Terroir), and often with transcendent richness.
Not being an authority doesn't mean I haven't an opinion, and New Hampshire has a somewhat limited number of Spanish wines, so tasting them and commenting on them should be easy, right? Not so fast; wine is a serious "business"; however we wine lovers, or those interested in a special gift at this time of the year, we're all about the fun, value, and the utility of wine. So as I taste them, I note them, and if my list (a work in progress, mostly to assist Smart phone users) is of any help to my New Hampshire family and friends, then that's great.
More than A Redundant List Of Spanish Wine Regions to demonstrate just how difficult it can be to acquire a thorough knowledge of Spain's vast wine regions.
The list:
