Vintage Cellar 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 redcurrant and cherry flavors, light tannins and a fresh, energetic finish. An excellent value, and surprisingly elegant for this price point.


My Review: There was a spicy but fruity nose to this wine. The flavors were very light and smooth on the palate and one of my favorites. This wine would pair nicely with a hearty steak.


I did not taste this wine with food.
