Winery Review:
100% Tempranillo. Dark red. Spicy red berries and cherry on the nose, with hints of cracked pepper and dried rose. Crisp and dry on the palate, with spicy red current and cherry flavors, light tannins and a fresh, energetic finish. An excellent value, and surprisingly elegant for this price point.

My Review:
Deep red in color, this tempranillo features spicy dark cherry on the nose. I found this red to be rather thin-bodied and extremely spicy on the mid-palate. Very dry and tannic, I could imagine pairing this red with a Mediterranean feast. A little too bold and spicy for my palate, but possibly paired with the right dinner, could be rather fantastic.
